What to expect
The 31 foot Cape Horn is the boat we run when the day calls for more range. Trolling or bottom fishing the Gulf of Mexico, working natural bottom and wrecks, with the deck space and the fuel to stay out for eight hours if you want to.
Trolling puts you on king mackerel, Spanish mackerel, amberjack and bonita, with mahi mahi, cobia and blackfin tuna showing up as bonus fish. Bottom fishing brings red snapper, mingo and mangrove snapper, amberjack, triggerfish and grouper, with seasons deciding what comes home.
Twin outboards, a full electronics suite and a deep-V hull mean a comfortable ride on days when a smaller boat would be working hard.
The reef and wreck species that make the longer run worth it:
Four, five, six or eight hours in the Gulf. Five hours is $1,125.

Questions about the 31ft Cape Horn charters
Trip lengths, the price of the full day, and what the boat gets you.
How long can a Cape Horn trip run?
Four, five, six or eight hours. The eight hour day is the only trip in the fleet that long, and it is the one to book if you want the range to fish further wrecks and reefs.
What does the Cape Horn cost?
$900 for four hours, $1,125 for five, $1,350 for six and $1,800 for eight. That is the rate for the boat, covering up to four passengers, with each additional passenger $50.
What is the difference between this and the nearshore trip?
The water and the species overlap. The difference is the boat and the clock. The 31 foot Cape Horn carries the fuel, the deck space and the ride for a full day, so you can fish further out and stay longer.
What do you catch on the reefs and wrecks?
Red snapper, mingo and mangrove snapper, amberjack, triggerfish and grouper on the bottom, and king mackerel, Spanish mackerel, bonita and the occasional mahi mahi, cobia or blackfin tuna on the troll.
