We are the obvious choice when it comes to luxury and VIP family deep-sea fishing.

Capt. Rafael and his crew cockpit manager, and Stewards maintain and run one of the cleanest and biggest sportfishing charter yachts in the industry, a custom Hatteras deep-sea charter fishing boat. It is located only minutes away from the warm waters of the Gulf Stream where some of the best deep-sea fishing is done!

We are always at your service and ready to take you on a charter fishing trip of a lifetime. We are one of the most experienced and successful deep-sea fishing charter services that has operated in South Florida for more than 25 years!

The owner and operator of this magnificent luxury sportfishing vessel is Capt. Rafael Mayans. When you come aboard, luxury will scream at you. The boat is a beautiful high-class sport fishing machine.

Sea Cross is located in Miami Beach and offers to show you a memorable time in these waters.

Capt. Rafael and his crew cockpit manager, and Stewards will do their best to make sure you have a fun day full of fishing This involves 4-hour trips, mainly fishing for Dolphin, Barracuda, Wahoo, Amberjack, Grouper, and Cobia, depending on the season and conditions on the day. On these trips, you can expect to use techniques such as light tackle, heavy tackle, trolling, big game fishing, drift fishing, and spinning.

Your fishing adventure starts on a 55’ Hatteras boat that can safely take up to 6 anglers. This boat comes with a toilet, AC, an ice box, a and fighting chair.

All rods, reels, and terminal tackle are included in the price so you can focus on what really matters, fishing. Your trip will include all the necessary fishing licenses for the day. The crew will clean and fillet your catch for you to take home at the end of the trip.

The charter is only 15 minutes away from lines, and there is more fishing time from our location than from any other marina here in South Florida. This means more fishing time for you.

A low front made for and interesting day on the water as the wind and seas were mixed with 7 to 11 swells and 2 to 3 feet of wind chop. Weather was warm and the ride was fun for those with a stomach for the ocean. The experience of the crew was excellent. The crew locked in on the fish by following the signs of nature. A large female Frigate Bird was circling not far off from our location. We turned and headed that way. Boom we were on the fish. We pulled a male and female Mahi Mahi as we crossed under the bird. Turns out having eyes in the sky is an excellent way to fish. Blackened Mahi Mahi for dinner. Thank you Peter and Ken!

Today was an awesome day the captain really knew was he was doing. On our way back after we caught a ton of mahi-mahi we saw this huge amount of birds, the captain did not care about coming back so we had a long time fishing and caught so many other fish. I would really recommend it!!!!
