Chasing Mahi-Mahi: 10-Hour Deep-Sea Trip from Port Canaveral

Adventure Brief

Board Catch Dog at Port Canaveral for a ten-hour push into Gulf Stream water where mahi‑mahi, tuna and wahoo await. This small-group, gear-included trip blends modern electronics, a restored sportfisher and hands-on angling for a full day of offshore action.

From $1,590.00

Launch from 505 Glen Cheek Dr, Port Canaveral, FL 32920 and spend ten hours chasing offshore pelagics aboard Catch Dog, a restored 32’ Priorities Offshore Sport Fishing Boat. The trip leaves from Port Canaveral, Cape Canaveral, Florida, running into the warm ribbon of the Gulf Stream where the continental shelf drops to structure and colorful hard-bottom reefs attract mahi‑mahi, yellowfin tuna, wahoo and other hard-fighting species. Expect open-ocean rhythm, rolling swells and the darting arcs of flying fish signaling life below the surface.

Catch Dog was rebuilt in 2020 and runs on a 450HP Cummins with updated electronics that speed transit to productive marks. The boat’s covered cockpit, enclosed cabin and head make long days more comfortable, and the small-group layout—up to six guests, five ideal—keeps every angler involved. Crew supply rods, reels, tackle, bait, ice and a cooler; catch cleaning and filleting is included so you go home with ready-to-store fillets. Check-in begins at 6:30 AM; arrive 15 minutes early to board smoothly.

Fishing here is a study in reading current lines and following birds. Temperature breaks along the Gulf Stream concentrate bait, and a well-placed drift or troll through a weedline will often produce sudden, explosive strikes. The restored Priorities hull gives a solid ride on the run out and nimble handling once you’re over the fish; that combination lets crew work multiple presentations and keep anglers fishing rather than motoring.

This trip is ideal for anglers who want a full-day, gear-included experience without the scale of large charter operations. Families and small groups appreciate the shade, cabin and personal attention, while serious anglers value the electronics, up-to-date tackle and the ability to fish structure where big mahi and tuna congregate. Practical notes: fishing license and most tackle are included; tipping is customary (20%). Free cancellation is available up to three days before departure for flexible planning.

Cape Canaveral adds a distinctive coastal context—the same shoreline that supports U.S. space launches creates a working-waterfront feel you won’t find in purely recreational marinas. Geologically, you’re fishing where the Florida platform gives way to deeper ocean terrain, and that transition is why this stretch of Atlantic produces consistent offshore action. For anyone seeking long runs, steady action, and the chance at trophy mahi, this ten‑hour voyage out of Port Canaveral is a direct, productive way to experience Central Florida’s offshore fishery.
