    Capt Lee and his mate Alan are the real deal !

    Gulfstream Marlin Fishing 12 Hours • 6 adults

    At 7:25 am we were 5 miles SE of the Big Rock when we had an injector pump issue that for most Captains would have a trip ending even. Not for Captains Lee. He grew up working in his familes logging business so he knew how to work on diesel engines. In about 45 minutes he was able to make a repair to the injection pump and we were back in business. We ended the day with a nice box of wahoo and a gaffer and he extended our trip to make up for the earlier lost fishing time. Capt Lee and his mate Alan know how to take care of thier customers. Great day in the Gulf Stream. Highly recommend

    Would we charter with Captain Folden ? You bet!!!

    Full Day Trip –Gulfstream • 4 adults

    We chartered a fishing trip with Marked Off Sport Fishing 7-17-26 and had a blast. Nothing like catching fish and getting to know captain Folden and Allen his mate personally while on the trip. From the time we started out you could tell this was going to be a trip no one would forget! The fishing started slow but ' man did it end on a high note and the crew were as much excited as we were. We caught Tuna, Wahoo, and I caught my first billfish, a blue marlin at that! The Marked Off boat is a beautiful boat and very comfortable. They made us fell like we were part of the team. And we had a blast! If you want to have a fishing trip you will not forget, charter with them. We will be doing it again!

    Reported catch:
    Blue Marlin
    Wahoo
    Blackfin Tuna

    Best trip of my life!

    Full Day Trip –Gulfstream • 6 adults

    Captain Holden and his mate Allen were amazing. from the moment we met they were extremely friendly made the trip feel like we were fishing with old friends. They put us on the fish we were targeting and overdelivered like you wouldnt believe. everyone on board got to experience true offshore fishing and have a blast doing so. if we wanted to just fish we could, but if we wanted to get in on the action and help be a hand they helped us along the way. our entire group all agreed that it was by far the best experience on a charter we have ever had! we 100% will rebook with them.

    Reported catch:
    Dolphin (Mahi Mahi)
    Wahoo
    Response from Captain

    Man, it was a blast for us!! Can’t wait until next trip, enjoy the fresh seafood and remember, IT NEVER GETS OLD!!!!

    Five Stars Isn't Enough!

    Full Day Trip –Gulfstream • 6 adults

    What an awesome day on the water with Captain Folden Lee and the crew of Marked Off! From the time we left the dock until we came back, the crew worked hard to keep us on the fish, and they definitely delivered. We caught plenty of fish, had a ton of laughs, and made some great memories. The crew was friendly, knowledgeable, and always ready to help—whether it was baiting hooks, landing fish, or making sure everyone was having a great time. You can tell they genuinely enjoy what they do, and it shows. If you're looking for a great day of deep sea fishing, I highly recommend Marked Off with Captain Folden Lee. The only reason I'm giving them 5 stars is because Google won't let me give them 10! We'll definitely be booking another trip!

    Success!

    Full Day Trip –Gulfstream • 5 adults

    Prior to our trip, the caaptain answered all my questions via the app. As we were heading out, the mates explained the baits, lures & set up for the rods. With only 1 Wahoo, the captain and mates were trying to put us on some mahi to catch…. and they did! The mates shared plenty of side info about the waters & fish we were catching and much more. The mates were extremely accommodating & patient to our seasickness on the way out. Once the seasickness passed, the day became even more enjoyable and we would do it all over again! Overall a friendly, skillful, & knowledgeable captain and crew.

    Reported catch:
    Dolphin (Mahi Mahi)
    Wahoo
    Response from Captain

    thank you ao much for the review. we were happy to be a part of your celebration.

    Our group had an outstanding day fishing with Folden and Alan. They were great to talk and joke with when we weren’t reeling in fish. We had a couple of first timers and they were great at coaching them and all of us through the action to make sure we were avle to boat as many fish as we could. We will definitely be back.

    We had an incredible offshore fishing trip. My grandson caught his first sailfish and a wahoo. The youngest grandson caught a tuna, while my granddaughter caught two wahoo. It was a fantastic time on the water, and we made many cherished memories with our family. I can’t wait to go on another trip like this.

    We had an exceptional experience with Captain Folden and his crew, Allen and Zack. They are very down to earth people who were willing to teach us as much as we were willing to learn. It was nice having a Captain/owner running things. We caught Wahoo and Black fin Tun. A memorable experience for all 6 or us. I would definitely recommend Marked Off Charters to anyone. We will be taking another trip next year for sure.

What's biting with Marked Off Charters in Atlantic Beach

Early winter is still a fantastic time for offshore fishing if you have the time and energy – and if the weather permits. Wahoo, Sailfish, and all sorts of Tuna are in store, with plenty of action inshore if the water is choppy.

Top catches for November

Epic day

Usually the last fishable day before a storm blows in is epic because the fish are feeding hard. This Saturday the 27th of September should be just that. Jump on for one awesome trip.
