Sea Cross Premier Deep Sea Fishing

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

We have one of the cleanest and biggest charter Sport Fish yachts in the industry, a 2023/1988 55’ 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 operates in South Florida for more than 25 years!

The owner and operator of this magnificent luxury sport fish 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 will do his 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 yacht is conveniently docked at Haulover marina we are only 15 minutes away from lines in more fishing time from our location than from any other marina here in South Florida. This means more fishing time for you!
