Stay offshore for both sunset and sunrise fishing, with an overnight aboard a long-range sportfisher.
Your time at sea
Leave in the afternoon to reach Tomi Bank for the last-light bite, sleep aboard in real berths and fish again at first light. Depending on sea conditions and authorisations, the boat may instead shelter near Flat Island overnight before returning offshore at dawn. Target marlin on a catch-and-release basis, alongside tuna, wahoo and mahi-mahi. A long-range 50-foot sportfisher provides salon seating, galley, toilets, shower, sleeping berths, a professional fishing setup and full blue-water safety equipment. Starlink internet is fitted for connectivity during the expedition.
