Tavernier Blackfin Tuna Fishing Charters

Compared to the half-day options, this trip will allow you to get a bit more specific regarding the species you'd like to target. Having a bit more time on the water will allow you to chase your target until you get an opportunity at a catch you'll be proud of!

This will be a full 8-hour trip on the Spring Mix II. You'll leave the dock at 7:00 a.m. and search for Sailfish, Blackfin Tuna, Dolphin, as well as bottom dwellers like Amberjack, Mutton Snapper, and Red Snapper. You will also chase tasty species like Cobia, Yellowtail Snapper, and many more. The customary tip for the first mate is 20% of the price.

This trip is a bit more involved than the shorter trips. We will be targeting the glory fish that roam out beyond the reef edge! The day will begin with going to the bait patch and loading the livewells, which usually takes around an hour from the dock. Our target species will be structured around what is biting best at the given time. The main target will be Sailfish, Mahi, Blackfin Tuna and Kingfish. No matter what we always have a bottom rod set for groupers (when in season) and mutton snapper!

This trip is specifically targeting mahi/tuna there will also be time to fish the reef for snapper and other species as well.

Winter months are the best for Sailfish, usually November through March. Mahi, Tuna, Wahoo, or Kingfish are also possible to encounter. You start fishing just off the reef edge, some 3-7 miles from the marina. Then, you and the crew will look for color changes along the Keys coastline, from 20' to 190' of water. Sailfish usually jumps multiple times and swims up to 65 mph. To reel them in, you can troll live bait, kite fish, and sight fish. Light tackle will allow you a great fight.

This trip offers the best of both worlds. We'll start out blue water trolling for Mahi, Grouper and Sailfish and end the trip fishing on the patch reef for Snapper, Yellow Jack, and Grouper. This trip creates the best opportunity to maximize your catch and you will experience two completely different types of fishing. All fishing equipment is included in the price, as well as your licenses. Please note that in case you're paying your remaining balance with a credit card there is a $25 fee

The full day gives us plenty of time to do everything we do!

A 3/4 day offshore trip for pelagic fish such as Mahi, Wahoo, Tuna, and Sailfish. Captain Kevin doesn't recommend children under 8 for this trip, as you'll be running and gunning to find the big boys. The trip lasts from 7:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. When paying in full, tips are not included.

Head offshore for an exciting day targeting tuna and mahi-mahi. We’ll fish along weed lines, floating debris, or temperature breaks using trolling and sight-casting techniques. Expect action-packed fishing with chances at fast, hard-fighting pelagic species. All equipment, bait, and tackle are provided, and our experienced crew will guide you every step of the way. Bring snacks, drinks, and sunscreen for an unforgettable offshore adventure.
