Specialty Trips

Sailfish Excursion:

Our most common specialty trip during the winter months (November - March) is what we call our Sailfish excursion. We fish an area called "Sailfish Alley" during this time of the year which lies between Boynton Beach and goes north on up and into the next county. For these trips we usually book a six to eight hour day which gives us around an hour to catch live bait and the rest of the day to locate and catch fish. It is possible to purchase bait from a local bait boat which does allow for more fishing time. The average cost for live bait is around $80 a dozen and we usually recommend about eighteen pieces of bait per trip. These trips can offer great excitement with usually big fish and we tend to scale down our tackle to mainly 20# outfits. Pricing for this trip is based on our normal hourly rate, plus bait if required.

Snapper Trips:

This is a summer time and fall favorite. A four or six hour trip priced at the normal hourly rate, to one of the many lively local Boynton Beach area reefs. This trip is designed for the bottom fishing enthusiast, in which we anchor up and deploy chum throughout the water column to entice mainly Yellowtail, Mangrove and Mutton Snapper. Other bottom dwelling species can be caught doing this method to include Grouper, Kingfish, Triggerfish, Bonita along with a host of other species. There is a maximum capacity of three fishermen during these trips.

Swordfishing:

South East Florida offers a very realistic chance of tangling with the king of the ocean - the mighty Swordfish. No other gamefish around the world can compare to an angry hooked sword during the middle of the night. Swordfish adventures are nightime fishing trips and consist of an eight hour trip. Depending on the time of the year and a variety of other factors, this trip is usually scheduled between four in the afternoon to midnight. Pricing for this trip is $975 and there is a maximum capacity of three fishing guests.

Bahama Trips:

Summertime offers calm weather and the opportunity for great fishing adventures when booking a Bahama charter. The possibilities of catching a wide variety of game fish exist while fishing both inshore on the reefs or when venturing offshore to the fertile grounds of the eastern portion of the Gulfstream. We travel to any three of these exciting destinations -Port Lucaya, West End or Bimmini. For the more adventurous client, expect a crossing to take anywhere between four to seven hours. Or if you prefer, there are several charter planes willing to fly you there from the mainland at which time your charter boat, captain and mate will meet you there. These charters include daytime boating whether it be fishing or snorkling and all normal expenses associated with such activities. Night time activities will be on the island. Prices for these trips do not include Hotel accomodations, custom charges, docking fees or extra fuel purchases while at the destination. A minimum of three days will be required for these trips and pricing is based on per day.
