About
During an offshore full-day trip we will start by looking for mahi-mahi as you head out into the water. As we continue our adventure we will deep drop at a few different spots looking for snowy grouper and tilefish (both are great for dinner). We will then proceed to stop at the Marathon Hump to target blackfin tuna and queen snapper. It can also be possible to make a quick drop for a swordfish on a full day.
More info
We have two different boats in our fleet. For more space and a faster ride, we recommend booking the 35' Contender! For family fun and more sightseeing, we recommend the 26' Pathfinder.
What to bring
