One Half Day Fishing Trip!

You can catch plenty of good fish to eat! You will go 9-12 miles out for 3 hours of fishing.

Have you ever wanted to try offshore fishing before? If so, you should really join Hubbard’s Marina for a fun filled day on the water aboard one of their 3 hour fishing trips that are fun for the whole family! This trip is our shortest party boat offering closest to shore. Most days when the air is clear you are able to see shore throughout the entire trip. We typically fish about nine to twelve miles offshore in thirty to fifty foot of water targeting grey snapper, porgies, black sea bass and you even have a chance for some hogfish if you use the live bait options. Keeper sized grouper are few and far between and pretty much unrealistic to catch on the half day since were so shallow and close to shore. If grouper is your target species, you should try our longer 10 hour all day fishing trip or do one of our unique private charters.

These three hour half day party boat trips are for any sized group from one or as many as sixty five to seventy. However, we never overfill our trips since our boats are both licensed for over a hundred and ten people plus and we only allow up to seventy. Most days throughout most of the year were only about forty to fifty percent filled, but if you are joining us during spring break, a holiday season, or peak season in the summer then our weekend morning trips become more and more filled. If we get up to fifty percent capacity on a morning half day then that triggers us to open an afternoon half day. This means that afternoon trips are overflow trips so you will not have the option to do the afternoon unless it’s a busier time of year and the morning boat is filling up to at least half full or more. The reason we do this is to ensure all our trips have enough people to go out and we really try to avoid canceling the trips the night before on our guests. We realize most of you are on vacation so we do everything in our power to make it an easy, fun and relaxing day on the water that is fun for the whole family!

The half night trip happens late spring until early fall and it is typically offered only on Saturday nights as an overflow for the morning and afternoon trips, or in the special case that we have a special private charter that does not allow us to offer a morning or afternoon fishing trip.

Before you leave on your fun filled near shore deep sea fishing trip at Hubbard’s Marina we will do a short seminar for you in our waiting area 30 minutes before you depart on the fishing trip. This short seminar covers the boarding process, USCG federally mandated bag check process, our company policies that our also laid out on the FAQs page, plus we go over some of the extras like the option to pick up the live shrimp, fishing towels to keep your hands clean, gloves to help you hold the fish for plenty of souvenir photos, and we also have the option to pick up double rigs when available. These extra options are available right after the seminar and we do recommend cash for the seminar extras and for anything you want to purchase on the boat while offshore.

The boat has a full galley where you have hot coffee, cold sodas, plenty of water, cold beer, and tons of hot food options. The galley on board is cash only, but we do have an ATM at the front of our office for your convenience. Also, we offer you the option to grab a meal plan with your reservation. If you get the meal plan you get lots of food and drink included, plus free water the entire trip and happy hour beer prices just check out the options and price on that below.
