OFFSHORE SPORTFISHING

Two sportfish vessels, the Premium Time and the Reel Deal, our twin 36′ Luhrs Tournament Express. Outfitted for style, comfort, and performance.

Whether it’s a family of 6 looking for a great time together or a couple of hardcore fishermen looking for some serious action, we’ve got you covered.

An Easy Day of Fishing

Highly recommend FishMonsters for a 1/2 day or full day of fishing. Our group had 4 people fish 1/2 day, and 4 people fish a full day. With a full day, we had the option of going off-shore to find Wahoo, Mahi Mahi, and Tuna. We were lucky and got a Wahoo and continued trolling around. Later, we headed into the reefs to catch yellowtail. All in all, both boats caught enough fish to feed our group of 20 plus people. ~ Kenny S. via TripAdvisor

FLATS SKIFF

flats skiff

Key West is surrounded by some of the best flats in the world and home to gamefish like permit, bonefish, and tarpon. They are also home to many others like barracudas, sharks, and jacks.

Captain Jamie got it done in the flats!
A great time had with a knowledgeable guide.
It was a tough weather day for a flats fishing trip in December but Captain Jamie put us on barracuda all day.
His Maverick skiff fit two anglers and a guide comfortably.

It was a great day with lots of flats action.Highly recommended! ~ James S. via TripAdvisor

This overnight trip is the ultimate fishing, once in a lifetime, breathtaking, memorable vacation experience!

dry tortugas

This overnight trip to the Dry Tortugas is one to check off the bucket list and truly the Holy Grail of Fishing. Let’s see what else Buddy D. had to say about the trip...

Amazing Trip Amazing People Amazing Fun Amazing Culture
3 friends and I went on a Two Day live Aboard trip to the Dry Tortugas. This was one to check off the Bucket List. The Boat, Fishing, Service, and Experience was top of the line. Captain Marlin is as professional and knowledgeable as it gets. He is there to serve you and give the best trip possible. Remember it is FISHING, nothing is guaranteed, but with this man on this trip, I would be totally shocked if you did not catch many big fish. The mate Shane was every bit as stellar as the Captain. He was forceful in the things we needed to do to catch fish yet in a polite manner that made you realize that was what he was getting paid to do. Along with the incredible fishing, I mean maybe 12/15 times I dropped a bait without a bite, the fish were everywhere. Additionally, we spent the night at Fort Jefferson, saw the Sun Set, toured the amazing location, had dinner in the shadow of the Fort, and hooked 350 pound 550 pound Goliath Groupers and 8-foot sharks. What an amazing trip. The second day we trolled for Game fish landing Mahi after Mahi and a 47-pound Trophy. I doubt you can find a better guide and trip. Truly the Holy Grail of Fishing. ~ Buddy D. via TripAdvisor Review

Group size: 4 people max
Length of trip: Approx. 34 hours Departure: 8 am Return to dock: Approximately 5-6 pm
One Night $ 4400 — Approx. 34 hours on the boat from the time we leave to the time we arrive back at the dock.
