SKIRTCHASER CHARTERS

Free cancellation
​No charter is better equipped to deliver a trip of a lifetime than we are! We offer a high-quality experience from the moment you make your reservation to the time your catch is filleted. Our staff provides nothing less than the highest quality experience, making memories that will last you a lifetime! Offshore fishing has never been so exciting! Skirtchaser Charters has a brand new fishing machine fully rigged 36’ YELLOWFIN w/900 ho.for all types of fishing, different weather conditions, as well as the tournaments. Captain Frank Hutchko has 20 years of experience fishing in New Jersey, Cape Hatteras, West Palm Beach, and finally, John’s Pass. Your trip will take place on a 36’ Yellowfin boat. Even though it can take more people, Capt. Frank allows only up to 6 guests, so everybody can fish in comfort. This center console is powered by three 300 HP Suzuki engines that can reach the amazing speed of 45 knots. She is equipped with Simrad electronics, Carolina fish box and a cooler to keep your drinks cold at all times. Once you’re on the boat, Capt. Frank will go through safety briefing ..He will let you choose the fishing techniques, but if you’re looking for his advice – go bottom fishing! Once you catch enough fish using this technique, you can always switch to trolling. Capt. Frank will prepare dead bait before the trip, but if you want to use live bait you can catch it together. You will mostly target Snapper, Grouper, King Mackerel, Spanish Mackerel, Tuna, Wahoo, and Mahi Mahi. It all depends how far you want to go (which can be up to 150 miles offshore) and how long you want to stay on the boat. There is no minimum age limit, but Capt. Frank prefers to take children who are at least 8 years old on trips. Skirtchaser Charters strives to make your trip the one you’ll talk about for years to come. Take Capt. Frank’s word for it and book your next adventure today!
