Offshore Charters for Tuna, Marlin, Swordfish, Mahi, Wahoo

  Inshore Delaware Bay Spring Stripers & Black Drum

The 55 Hooked Up II is one of the newest, most deluxe, fastest and comfortable charter boats on the East Coast.  Carolina custom hulls are known for their world class rides without excessive pounding as well as being extremely dry boats in all kinds of sea conditions. The Hooked Up II is without questions one of the very best riding and driest charter boats you will ever fish on plus a super huge cockpit to accommodate up to 6 anglers and crew comfortably.  For your safety we had two new Caterpillar Diesels installed in June of 2009 as we feel having twin diesels engines is a must when running 60-100 miles when offshore fishing.

Scroll down the home page for more offshore pictures from last season as it was one of the very best on Yellowfin Tuna in many years running mostly day troll trips. I will be posting a synopsis shortly on the 2011 offshore season for our customers to review to help them decide when and what type of trip they might be interested in this coming 2012 season.
