You’ll get out on the open Gulf with an expert local captain, try your luck at catching kingfish or snapper, and enjoy a relaxed private trip with all equipment ready for you. It’s easygoing and perfect for anyone wanting real fishing without any hassle.
The morning air out on the marina felt a bit salty, and I could already hear the gulls before we even stepped onto the mini yacht. There’s something about that first whiff of sea breeze that wakes you up better than coffee. Our captain—friendly guy, local, knew these waters like his own backyard—welcomed us aboard and ran through a quick safety chat while we settled in with our gear.
We cruised past the city skyline, which looked almost unreal from the water, then headed out where the Gulf opens up wide. The hum of the engine faded as we slowed near a spot our captain called “the kingfish alley.” He handed us rods and showed us how to bait up—nothing fancy, just real hands-on tips. The sun was already warming my shoulders but there was still a cool breeze off the water. Every so often, you’d hear someone shout when they felt a bite—snapper, grouper, even a barracuda tugged at one line. Between casts, we sipped cold juice and just watched the water shimmer. Four hours slipped by fast; it never felt rushed or crowded with just five of us on board.
Yes! The captain will show you how to use all the gear and help you with baiting and casting if it’s your first time.
Absolutely—kids are welcome and there’s space for strollers or prams on board.
You might catch kingfish, queen fish, barracuda, cobia, grouper, tuna, trevally or snapper depending on season and luck.
Bottled water and juice are included for everyone on board.
Your trip covers all fishing equipment (rods, bait), bottled water and juice for each guest. Just bring yourself—everything else is sorted!
