About
Experience an unforgettable full-day Offshore Charter focused on Mahi-Mahi hunting. Our 8+ hour adventure begins with catching live bait at the reef before setting sail to The Humps, magnificent undersea mountains near Islamorada in the Atlantic. Throughout the journey, we carefully troll, keeping watch for diving birds and floating debris that signal potential bites. Once we spot a large school of Mahi-Mahi, you'll hook one and bring it aboard. If the school follows, we swiftly switch to spinning gear and live bait for an exhilarating experience. We'll continue to hook more fish, using gaffs when necessary. At The Humps, we also target delectable species like Tuna, Amberjack, Snapper, Grouper, and sometimes Shark. There's even a chance to land a massive Blue Marlin or White Marlin if luck is on our side.
Enjoy ultimate comfort on our state-of-the-art 42-foot Liberty Express vessel, equipped with modern amenities and air-conditioning. As our valued customer, we provide everything you need for your fishing adventure, including ice, water, bait, fishing licenses, fishing gear, and chum.
