The company lists five core trips: a 6 Hour Fishing Charter, 8 Hour Fishing Charter, 10 Hour Fishing Charter, 12 Hour Fishing Charter - Deepwater, and a 15 Hour Rigs/Gamefish trip. These trips cover nearshore reefs, offshore trolling grounds, and deepwater areas that reach 3400–5000+ feet.
Trip options target a broad selection of Gulf species specified in the trip summaries, including snapper, grouper, mahi-mahi, amberjack, yellowfin, wahoo, marlin, cobia, and tuna.
