Contact and booking details

Boat and passenger limit

The current booking pages describe a 40-foot custom Key West boat for up to six guests. Confirm the assigned vessel, cabin facilities, shade and toilet. Tell the crew about children or mobility needs so they can recommend a suitable trip.

Published booking prices

Current trip cards start at $1,000 for four hours, $1,200 for six hours and $1,400 for eight hours. An FAQ contains unfinished pricing text and a different range, so obtain a direct quote. Do not rely on that older generic FAQ amount.

Fishing and equipment

Advertised targets include mahi mahi, tuna, wahoo, sailfish and other offshore species. Fishing-license coverage, rods, reels, bait and tackle are included in the booking descriptions. Ask about fuel, ice, water, food, cleaning and gratuity when confirming the fare.

Reservation details

Call or email Captain Paul for available dates, departure time and realistic targets. Request the deposit, cancellation and weather terms. A short trip should be planned around travel time and local conditions rather than the full species list shown on the website.

Details checked September 29, 2026, using the operator’s published information. Rates, boats, meeting points and policies can change; confirm the final trip details directly. Listed species describe possible targets, not a guaranteed catch or an open harvest season.
