Leverdrag Charters offers various fishing trips. Their half-day, 4-hour nearshore fishing charter, available in the morning or afternoon, takes you up to 5 miles offshore to catch Spanish Mackerel, Bluefish, False Albacore, Atlantic Bonito (late April to early May), sharks, and possibly King Mackerel. For those looking for a bit more adventure, the 3/4 day, 6-hour charter goes up to 10 miles offshore, targeting the same species with a slim chance of encountering Mahi Mahi. The full-day, 8-hour charter ventures up to 23 miles offshore, offering opportunities to catch King Mackerel, Barracuda, Mahi Mahi, and even a rare encounter with a Sailfish.
The charters operate on a 26’ Sea Fox center console boat powered by a 300 HP Yamaha engine, allowing a cruising speed of 24 knots. The boat is equipped with outriggers, downriggers, and a live bait well to ensure seamless trolling, letting you focus on catching fish.
