Long Range 36,60, and 76 hour Tuna Trips Offshore long range fishing trips are designed to find fish and lots of them. The triple engine turbo power really shines when getting out to the big fish in a hurry without giving up comfort. Having a big boat with lots of power gets you outside the area that most conventional charters can go. This allows you to fish areas that have not been touched by other smaller boats. Get your chance to catch game fish like Yellow Tuna, Dorado, Ling, Amber Jack, and more. The long range trip is designed to get you out farther and give you more time fishing than a regular day charter. More time out means less time running and more time pulling in the big fish you are looking for. Once back at the dock you can clean your catch at our professional facility. We have large cleaning areas with fresh water and long tables for even the biggest catch. Bring your best rods and lures to catch the trophy of your dreams! 76 Hour- We only schedule one 76 hour trip per year in July. This trip coincides with Freeport's Annual Fishing Fiesta. The trip will arrive in time to weigh in for the fishing tournament. Visit their website for tournament information. We can also assist our customers with tournament registration. *Up to 120 quart cooler allowed |
