"Captain David and his crew were fantastic—super dedicated and professional. Even though the weather didn't fully cooperate for a few days, he kept in touch and made sure we only went out when it was safe. We wrapped up the trip with two barracuda and were lucky enough to see dolphins cruising right next to the boat, which was a bonus highlight. I'd absolutely book with this charter again." - West
"My brother and I had an incredible time out on the water with Captain David. We managed to land two wahoo near the end of the trip, which was the perfect way to wrap up the day. The crew took care of cleaning and cutting the fish into steaks, and we brought it back to the resort where they cooked it up for us—it turned out amazing." - Barrett
Atlantic Sailfish: These acrobatic beauties are the sprinters of the sea. Known for their stunning dorsal fin that stretches nearly the length of their body, Sailfish can hit speeds up to 68 mph. They're most active in our waters from November to May, and watching one of these guys light up electric blue as it jumps and tail-walks across the surface is a sight you'll never forget. Anglers love 'em for their explosive strikes and aerial displays.
Blue Marlin: The heavyweight champ of our waters, Blue Marlin are the stuff of fishing legends. These massive billfish can top 1,000 pounds, though we typically see them in the 200-400 pound range here. They're here year-round but peak from July to October. Blue Marlin are known for their incredible strength and stamina - hooking one is like trying to stop a freight train with a piece of string. It's the ultimate test of an angler's skill and endurance.
Mahi Mahi: Also known as Dorado or Dolphinfish (though they're not related to dolphins), these guys are the beauty queens of the deep. With their vibrant blue, green, and gold colors, they're as stunning to look at as they are delicious to eat. Mahi are fast-growing and can be found year-round, but they really show up in numbers from April to August. They're famous for their acrobatic fights and tendency to travel in schools, so multiple hookups are common.
Great Barracuda: With their menacing teeth and lightning-fast attacks, Barracuda are the perfect target for anglers who love explosive surface strikes. These predators hang around all year and can grow up to 6 feet long. They're often found near reefs and drop-offs, ready to ambush anything that looks like an easy meal. Barracuda fights are characterized by blistering runs and impressive jumps - just watch your fingers when you're unhooking them!
White Marlin: The smaller cousin of the Blue Marlin, White Marlin are no less exciting to catch. They average around 50-80 pounds but fight well above their weight class. We see them most often from May to July, and again from September to November. White Marlin are known for their incredible agility, often making spectacular aerial displays as they try to throw the hook. They're a favorite among light tackle enthusiasts for their technical fights and beautiful coloration.
Look, whether you're dreaming of that epic battle with a Blue Marlin or just want to feel the thrill of hauling in your own fresh-caught dinner, our Falmouth fishing charters deliver the goods. With our expert local knowledge, top-notch gear, and prime fishing grounds just minutes from shore, we're set up to give you the offshore adventure of a lifetime. Don't let another season slip by without crossing this one off your bucket list. The fish are biting, the boat's ready, and we've got a spot saved just for you. So what are you waiting for? Give us a shout and let's get you out on the water where the real action is. Trust me, once you feel that first hit, you'll wonder why you didn't do this sooner. See you on the boat!

These beauties are a sight to behold, with their iconic sail-like dorsal fin and metallic blue coloration. Typically 7-8 feet long and around 50 pounds, sailfish are known for their blazing speed and acrobatic jumps. You'll find them in warm, tropical waters, often near the surface down to about 60 feet. They're partial to areas with floating debris or weed lines. Summer's the prime time to target sailfish here off Falmouth. Anglers love 'em for their spectacular aerial displays and hard-fighting nature. To hook one, try trolling with live bait like ballyhoo or squid, or use colorful lures that mimic flying fish. My local tip: when you see one, let it run with the bait before setting the hook. Patience pays off with these smart fighters.

Blue marlin are the heavyweight champs of our waters. These monsters can top 1,000 pounds, though the average is closer to 200-400 pounds. Look for them in deep, warm offshore waters, often following underwater structures or temperature breaks. They're here year-round, but summer and fall are peak seasons. Blues are famous for their power and stamina - expect long runs and jaw-dropping jumps when you hook one. It's a true test of an angler's skill. We troll with large lures or rigged baits like bonito or mackerel. Here's a local secret: keep an eye out for frigate birds - they often lead us to feeding marlin. When you get a strike, make sure to let the fish run and eat before setting the hook hard.

These toothy predators are the bad boys of our reefs. They can grow over 5 feet long, but most we catch are 2-4 feet. You'll find them lurking around shallow reefs, drop-offs, and even under boats in the marina. They're here year-round, but seem most active in warmer months. Barracuda are lightning-fast and put on a great show with their leaps and runs. Trolling with tube lures or live bait works well, but my favorite is sight-casting with topwater plugs. Here's a local tip: when you see one following the lure, speed up your retrieve - that often triggers the strike. Watch those teeth when you're unhooking them, and we always use a landing net for the big ones.

Mahi mahi are the crowd-pleasers of our charters. Their electric blue and gold colors are stunning, especially right out of the water. They usually run 15-30 pounds here, but can get up to 50. You'll find them near floating debris or weed lines, often in 100-400 feet of water. They're around all year, but really fire up in summer. Mahi are famous for their acrobatics and hard fights, plus they're excellent eating. Trolling with small lures or live bait works well. My favorite local trick is to keep a pitch bait ready - when we spot a mahi, toss it out and hold on! These fish often travel in groups, so when you hook one, keep the boat nearby to catch its buddies.

White marlin are the smaller, more acrobatic cousins of the blue marlin. They typically run 50-80 pounds here, maxing out around 150. You'll find them in deep blue water, often near temperature breaks or underwater structures. Late summer and fall are prime time for whites off Falmouth. These fish are prized for their spectacular aerial displays and lightning-fast runs. We usually troll with small lures or rigged ballyhoo. Here's a local secret: watch for diving birds - they often lead us to feeding white marlin. When you get a bite, don't set the hook right away. Let the fish eat and turn, then reel steadily to come tight. Get ready for some of the most exciting jumps you'll see on the water.
