First Billfish
4 Hour–Offshore Deep Sea 3-6 Miles on March 16, 2026 • 2 adults

Captain Christian was awesome to fish with. Seas started out rough and the 35 Contender did its job perfectly. I was excited for my first billfish and he had me hooked up on a beautiful sailfish within minutes of getting the spread out. My son boated a couple blackfin for the freezer as well. Captain was happy to share his knowledge and we enjoyed learning the art of kite fishing. 10/10 would recommend.

Caught a Huge Sailfish — Absolutely Crazy!
4 Hour–Offshore Deep Sea 3-6 Miles on November 28, 2025 • 1 adult

Caught a big sailfish today — totally insane experience! The captain and crew were amazing and made everything easy for a beginner like me. I was too exhausted to go on, but the captain and his assistant helped me pull the fish up. They kept cheering me on all the time. This was unforgettable. Highly recommended!

    The captain was hustling the whole time to get us fish. We caught tuna, mahi and sailfish. He took pictures for us and made it an overall great experience. Would definitely suggest booking with Captain Christian if you want to go fishing(catching).
