What You’ll Catch


The twin CAT 550 HP engines get you to prime blue-water marlin territory faster than any boat in the fleet, a critical advantage when time on the best grounds matters. Your captain deploys live bonito and mullet around structure in the morning; afternoon tactics shift to trolled lures and rigged baits targeting striped marlin, blue and black marlin, wahoo, and large yellowfin tuna. The air-conditioned cabin keeps you fresh and focused between action-packed bites.

Half-day charters (5 hrs) capitalize on the boat's speed to maximize time on productive water with minimal transit. Full-day expeditions (8 hrs) push deep offshore to virgin blue water where trophy marlin roam and pressure is minimal, all while enjoying premium comfort and modern luxury amenities.
