Full day: Recommended when sailfish, marlin, tuna or dorado are the priority because it provides more time to travel, search and fish offshore grounds.

The half-day rate is $1,600 and the full-day rate is $1,900. Both prices are $200 higher than the former rates shown on the page.
How many people can the boat carry?
The listed maximum is eight guests. Tell us the number of anglers and non-fishing guests so we can confirm that this is the right layout for your group.
Does the boat have a restroom?
Yes. The Great Marlin has a full-size private onboard restroom/head.
Is a half day enough for offshore fishing?
A full day is normally the better choice for dedicated offshore targets because travel distance and fish movement can reduce fishing time on a shorter charter.
