Deep Sea Fishing Charters

Deep sea fishing charters provide access to offshore waters targeting pelagic species. These trips venture into open ocean pursuing game fish including marlin, tuna, kingfish, and other species. Experienced skippers know productive offshore locations and understand fish behaviour and seasonal patterns. Charters provide quality fishing equipment including rods, reels, and tackle appropriate for targeting large species. Trips typically range from full-day to extended offshore expeditions.
