The trips can begin as early as 7 in the morning or later in the afternoon if you're not an early bird. You will be checking the bite for anything from Spanish Mackerel and Bluefish to Blacktip Shark. There is also a good chance to hook into Kingfish, Cobia, and Barracuda, as well as large Redfish and Black Seabass.
Fugitive Fishing Charters will take you out aboard a 33' Morgan offshore sport fishing boat. Built in 1987, this legendary vessel can comfortably accommodate up to 6 anglers to fish in comfort and style.
The boat comes powered by a 375 HP Caterpillar engine and can cruise at a top speed of 20 knots. It is fully outfitted with modern navigational and fish finding electronics, technologies, and professional equipment. There is also a flybridge to admire the view and spot any action going on beneath the surface. The boat has a toilet for your maximum comfort and a bed to take a nap in between bites.
All trips come with quality gear and tackle by Penn and Shimano, as well as bait, lures, and fishing licenses. First Mate will be able to clean your catch for a 20% tip.

Christina Wertz5.0VerifiedWent for fishing trip, ended as a catching trip
Half Day Trip (AM) on August 6, 2026 • 5 adults • 2 childrenThis fishing trip could not have been better. We hauled in 40 Spanish mackerel and three small sharks. the captain and TJ were incredible and lots of fun to be around. We had a four-hour time slot and there were times where we were only sitting down for only a minute or two because we would have another pole active. I would not have changed a thing. Will be using them again next year when we come back.
Monica OsborneRepeat angler5.0VerifiedGreat trip!
Half Day Trip (AM) on July 16, 2026 • 6 adultsWhat a fun and successful fishing trip! Excitment right off the bat! Biggest mackerel we’ve ever caught or seen for that matter! Ryan and TJ kept us laughing and both worked really hard to get us on the fish. We walked away with a nice, plump bag of fish filets and happy teenagers so definitely a win, in my book. Highly recommend and we’ll be back soon!

Half Day Trip (AM) on August 21, 2026 • 6 adultsWe caught a bunch of Spanish mackerel, a hammerhead shark, and a needlefish! The captain and mate were so knowledgeable and enthusiastic. We had a great time! They were both so nice and personable—they joked and laughed with us, but also made sure we were safe throughout the entire trip.

Had family in from NY and although they fished in lakes and rivers they had never been deep sea fishing. We caught large red drum, 25+ Spanish Mackerel and finished up with a couple of 6-8 foot sharks. Oh yeah and they have a couple of “fish” stories about the really big one that got away! Doesn’t get any better than that. Will definitely be going out with them again.
This was our first time on a charter. Captain Ryan was very knowledgeable and friendly. He even gave us some history lesson as we were making our way to the location. We caught spanish mackerel, blue fish, leopard fish, jack crevalle, and a 4+ft blacktip shark. We enjoyed our time and would recommend this charter.
Captain Ron and first mate TJ were great. It was a very slow day, only hauled in three fish and one shark but they kept trying and circling to try to find them while communicating with other boats who were experiencing similar problems. Very knowledgeable of the history of the area and coastal geography and even though we had four restless kids with not a lot of fish, it was still a great experience. Super friendly and accommodating.
