Gulf Stream Headboat Fishing
35+ miles offshore. Good Fish. Captains who've been making this trip for years.
If you want to tell people you went deep-sea fishing in the Gulf Stream, this is the trip.
This is the Real Deal
We run 35-50 miles offshore into water so blue it doesn't look real, where the continental shelf drops, currents collide, and every cast feels like it could be the one. Grouper, BeeLiners, Rudder Fish, Grey Snapper, Pink Snapper and whatever else is running that week.
This isn't a scenic cruise. It's 11 hours of serious fishing with crews who've been making this run longer than most GPS systems have existed. We know the structure, the weed lines, the temp breaks. We know where to look, and what to do when we find it.
What makes Gulf Stream fishing different
This is the trip that anglers come back to year after year. The one that makes you understand why people spend money on offshore fishing.
The Boat: Hurricane II
Our Gulf Stream trips run on the Hurricane II, a headboat built for serious offshore work.
What you're getting:
- Full-service cabin with AC
- Full service galley with full breakfast in the morning, cheeseburgers, hamburgers, dogs and more for the rest of the day
- Modern electronics & fish-finding tech
- Experienced captains who know these waters
- Professional mates handling lines, rigging, gaffing
- Safety equipment & USCG compliance (because 50 miles is a long way out)
Our boats have been running the Gulf Stream since before "Instagram-worthy" was a thing. They're maintained, inspected, and captained by people who take offshore seriously.
If weather turns, we don't push it. If conditions are marginal, we come up with the best options and call you. Your deposit gets moved, not lost.

Who This Trip Is Perfect For
Serious anglers who want the full offshore experience.
You've fished inshore. You've done half-days. Now you want to see what Gulf Stream fishing actually feels like. This is it.
Groups chasing trophy fish and memories.
Bachelor parties. Best friends' reunion trips. Father-son bucket list moments. A full day offshore bonds people in ways a beach bar never will.
Anyone willing to earn the catch.
This is NOT lazy fishing. It's active, physical, and sometimes frustrating (because that's how the ocean works). But when it clicks (and it does) you'll understand why people keep coming back.
Repeat customers who know the drill.
Half our Gulf Stream bookings are people we've fished with before. They know what to expect, they know the crew, and they know it's worth the early alarm.

This is a full day. If you've never done offshore fishing, know that it's not the same as fishing the sound. The ocean moves differently 35-50 miles out.
Bring meds if you're sensitive. There's no shame in Dramamine.
