About Your Trip

Get out there and experience the fun of family fishing in The World's Luckiest Fishing Village with Captain Cliff! He's been fishing here for over 35 years, and is an expert when it comes to putting you on the fish.

On this trip, you'll target a variety of classic reef species, including White, Black, and Vermillion Snapper, Almaco Jack, Amberjack, Red Snapper and Triggerfish (in season), and more! You'll also be able to troll for top-tier offshore species such as King Mackerel, Wahoo, and even Sailfish!

These species are a blast to catch, and great to eat as well. Whether you're looking to fill your cooler, catch a personal best, or both, this trip has something for everyone. The captain is also great at teaching novices how to get hooked up for the first time, so there's no experience required on this adventure. You can troll or bottom-fish depending on your preference, and length of the trip. Feel free to stay out on deck watching the rods, or relax in the comfortable cabin until a fish is on!

You'll be enjoying the breeze aboard this 40' Bertram Widebody Classic Sportfish powered by Twin Cummins Turbo Diesels! She has been customized with underwater fins to improve on an already stable ride. For your comfort during your trip, she has been furnished inside the fully air-conditioned salon which includes a bathroom, microwave, DirecTV on the flatscreen television inside, and Sirius Satellite Radio which can be enjoyed inside and out.

She's also customized with a tower, downrigger, outriggers, and a large livewell. For the nighttime hours, she has above-water illumination as well as powerful underwater lights. No expense has been spared with a full array of state-of-the-art electronics, and top-notch fishing tackle!

Your captain will supply everything you need for a great trip, including rods, reels, and tackle. Live bait is also available for a small additional cost. All you need to remember is proper clothing, sun protection, some drinks and snacks, and a cooler for your keepers!

Captain Kyle is very fortunate to have learned from the very best back when he was a deckhand. He learned the meaning of “Old School” from Captain Tommy Klostermann, and who taught him the “book” on fishing in the Gulf of Mexico. Over the years he has learned many different ways to approach fishing, from being able to adapt at a moment’s notice to being able to think thoroughly outside of the box and do...

Once you've paid your deposit at checkout, we'll send you a boarding pass. Just show your guide your boarding pass on the day of the trip, they'll scan it, the remaining balance will transfer automatically, and you'll be all set to get out there. Just make sure you bring a cash tip for the guide!

Each trip’s price is set by the guide and factors in all of their costs. A big determinant of cost is often the type of boat and associated fuel costs, but other guide costs include leases, marina / slip fees, bait costs, and the cost to provide and maintain all of the gear you’ll need on your trip.

Once you book the trip, we will connect you directly with the guide to go over any additional details. In the meantime, our team is always available to answer your questions via email, text, chat, or call!
