Nearshore reefs and wrecks with steady bites and heavy coolers.

The trip

The most booked trip on our board. We run 12 to 22 miles to a rotation of private reefs and wrecks, then bottom fish with light tackle. Great for mixed-skill groups who want action every drop without a full offshore day.

Best for: First timers and mixed groups.

"Booked at 11pm from my hotel, confirmed instantly, and the weather rebook when a front came through took me about four seconds to approve."
