The Frances Fleet offers a variety of fishing trips, including ½ day, full day, night, offshore and overnight extended trips. Novices and experienced anglers alike are welcome on all trips, and the crew will be happy to give instructions to anyone who wants/needs assistance. No reservations are necessary on the majority of day trips. Rods are available to rent for all trips and bait is supplied free of charge. If you’d like to accompany an angler but choose not to fish, you’re welcome to join in the fun and perhaps do some sunbathing at a discounted rate. If you want excitement, sport and the ultimate in fishing challenges, then offshore tuna trips are for you. They offer numerous offshore tuna trips beginning in late August and running until late October. Due to the overwhelming demand of these trips, reservations are required. Whale Watching Expeditions are also of special interest. These trips run in July and August, five days per week. There have been sightings of various forms of marine life, including finback whales, humpbacks, minke whales, dolphins, sea turtles, giant ocean sunfish, sharks and a wide array of bird life.
