Our trip has been a big success. My friends had a great time and you contributed to that significantly.

You can elect to fish for GOLIATHS on a traditional charter and pay a guaranteed Goliath "a-la-carte" price of $50 for each fish over 50 lbs. Or if you are interested in focusing on Goliath for your entire trip, the cost will be $1250 for a 5 hour Goliath Grouper fishing trip for up to 2 anglers. Goliath grouper only charters require a $250 deposit. (Traditional charters require a $100 deposit)
Note: $300 for a third person.
Note: This is a guaranteed trip!
Making your deposits as soon as possible saves your fishing date. In the “message” section, you can indicate which date you prefer. Capt. Tim will confirm after he is notified that your deposit was processed.
SAFETY NOTICE: PLEASE WEAR SNEAKERS OR CROCS IF YOU INTEND TO DO BATTLE WITH A GOLIATH GROUPER. NO SANDALS PLEASE.
Wherever you fish, if you ever get the chance to fish for the Goliath Grouper, please only use circle hooks and not J-hooks. Using circle hooks will virtually guarantee that the fish is hooked in the perimeter of the mouth and will not be gut hooked. Also, in order to give the Goliath the best chance of survival, never bring him out of the water and into a boat.
