About Your Trip

If you're looking for world-class sportfishing in one of America's most beautiful locations, then this trip just might be your ticket. This trip will allow you to chase a variety of prized nearshore species including topwater predators like Kingfish alongside reef fish such as Gag Grouper and Mangrove Snapper.

You'll be in experienced and professional hands aboard Captain Hunter's 30' Seahunter Floridian. This boat is a perfect balance of speed, performance, and comfort that's ideal for offshore fishing. With twin 300HP Yamaha engines, you won't have to cruise for long before you reach the prime fishing grounds and start haulin' 'em in. On the way, watch the trolling lines for sudden bites!

Your captain will be prepared with everything you need for a blue-ribbon day, including top-of-the line rods, reels, bait, tackle, and most importantly, his years of experience hunting champion pelagic predators. To make the most of your experience on the water, make sure to bring polarized sunglasses, proper clothing, hat, and sunscreen. Get ready to have a blast!
