Wahoo are the fastest fish that comes over the rail on this boat and they are a federal offshore target, not a bay-boat fish. If a charter is not running past 30 miles under a federal permit, it is not putting you on wahoo.
Replies within the hour. The captain answers his own phone.
Everything about a wahoo day is different from a snapper day, even when both happen on the same trip.
Wahoo hold around structure and edges out past the 30-mile line: rigs, rips, and the temperature breaks that concentrate bait. The boat trolls them rather than sitting on a spot. Lines go out, the captain works the edges, and the strike comes at speed with a run that empties line faster than anything else out there.
Terminal tackle matters here. Wahoo have teeth that cut through monofilament, so the rigs run wire. That gear is aboard and rigged, which is one more reason the trip price is all-in rather than an equipment list you assemble yourself.
The federal Reef Fish and Coastal Migratory Pelagic permits on vessel 1109029 are what allow the boat to work these waters commercially out to 60 miles. Both were renewed in 2026 and run through June 30, 2027.
Wahoo and kingfish both run hot through late October and November. The late fall federal window, October 27 through November 30, is built around exactly that stretch.
The February through May window fishes wahoo on the troll alongside opening snapper and moving kingfish. Eight hours is enough to do both in one day.
The June through October long-run reaches the deeper wahoo schools along with yellowfin tuna and dolphin. It is the longest day on the calendar and the widest range.
Every Federal Offshore trip is $2,500 for up to six anglers with fuel, tackle, bait, ice, and cleaning included.
The strongest wahoo stretch on the calendar. Kingfish run alongside them before the water cools.
Wahoo on the troll while the reef fishery opens back up. A mixed-bag day by design.
Deep wahoo schools, yellowfin tuna, and dolphin. Ten hours of run and fish, the widest range the boat covers.
Late October through November is the strongest stretch, with the spring window from February through May a close second. The summer long-run reaches the deeper schools.
Trolling. Lines are worked around structure, rips, and temperature breaks past the 30-mile line, with wire leaders because wahoo cut straight through mono.
Yes, and most anglers do. An 8-hour federal offshore day has room to troll the edges and drop on structure.
Yes. Rods, Shimano reels, wire rigs, lures, and bait are all included, along with fuel with no surcharge.
Six anglers maximum. The boat is a 31 ft Ocean Master with a six-passenger Coast Guard capacity, and it is a private charter, so you are not sharing the rail with strangers.
Same boat, same captain, different water. Every trip below runs off the same dock at Slip C7.
Federal Offshore trips are $2,500 all-in for up to six anglers. Call the captain and he will tell you what the edges have been holding this month.
