    (3hr charter reef wrecks and bay)

    Great Haul and Memorable Catches!

    The captain was very positive and knew exactly where to be even in the roughest water and windy day. We caught more fish than we could ever eat and had a great time.

    Amazing Trip!

    we had an awesome time with Captain Dale and First Mate Kendall! we caught fish from the first time our lines were inbthe water until it was time to head in. Kendall was great! He was attentive and took care of our every need. Unfortunately Red Snappee seaso just closed, but we still caught plenty of fish. Thank you Class Act for a fun and amazing experience.

    (4 Hour Trip — Captain's Choice)

    Great Experience

    We scheduled a reef trip, unfortunately mother nature wasn't cooperating and Captain Pat didnt disapoint. He took us inshore and had us on a school of snapper and we hit our limit under a hour. Then took us orund to different spots to try our luck on orher species. We are aleady planning on another trip to the keys and booking with Captain Pat. A+

About Offshore fishing

Offshore fishing takes you beyond the nearshore zone into deeper, open water. It offers big fights, wide horizons, and the chance to chase fast, powerful game fish. If you want adventure and a real test of skill, this is a great choice.

Common targets include Tuna, Mahi Mahi, Wahoo, Amberjack, Grouper, Red Snapper, and Tilefish. Many trips also hunt Billfish like Sailfish and Marlin, and some pursue Swordfish. These species are famous for speed, strength, and thrilling runs.

Captains use proven techniques that match the season and conditions. Trolling pulls lures or bait behind the boat to cover water. Live baiting tempts roaming predators near weed lines and rips. Bottom fishing and deep dropping reach structure holding Snapper, Grouper, and Tilefish. Jigging and chunking draw bites when fish mark under the boat. Offshore fishing is not the same as deep sea fishing, which happens in much deeper water.

Trips often run a half day to full day, with longer runs offshore. Expect a fast ride, rolling seas, and steady action when the bite is on. Beginners and families are welcome on many boats, while experienced anglers can target trophies. Most charters provide rods, reels, and tackle. Bring sun protection, a hat, polarized sunglasses, non-slip shoes, snacks, drinks, layers, and seasickness remedies if needed.

Before you go, check local rules for licenses, permits, seasons, and harvest limits. Some areas require tags for certain species, or have catch-and-release rules for protected fish. Regulations change often, so review the latest guidance for your destination ahead of your trip.
