Saltwater Challenge – 6 Hour Nearshore Fishing Trip

About the Charter

Enjoy deepwater fishing aboard our flagship vessel, The Saltwater Challenge. She is a spacious 36-foot custom-built boat powered by 900 horsepower, designed to get you swiftly and safely to and from our premier fishing grounds.

Now equipped with STARLINK, you’ll enjoy reliable internet access whether we’re at the dock or offshore. The vessel also features an enclosed head/toilet for your comfort and convenience.

This trip ventures up to 25 miles offshore, offering exciting fishing opportunities year-round.

Summer Fishing (June – September)

During the summer months, anglers can expect action-packed fishing for:

  • King Mackerel (Kingfish)
  • Sharks
  • Cobia
  • Sailfish (seasonally possible)

This trip is ideal for families, beginners, and anglers looking for steady action in comfortable offshore conditions.

Fall, Winter & Spring Fishing

As water temperatures cool, our focus shifts to:

  • Sheepshead
  • Spanish Mackerel
  • Catch-and-Release Red Snapper
  • Oversized Redfish (Catch & Release)

Seasonal Cobia Opportunities

From November through January, weather permitting, we target nearshore wrecks using both live bait and jigging techniques in pursuit of Cobia. Known for their hard-fighting nature and excellent table fare, Cobia are one of the most sought-after species along our coast.

Whether you’re introducing your family to offshore fishing or chasing your next trophy catch, The Saltwater Challenge offers a comfortable, well-equipped platform for an unforgettable day on the water.
