The Frances Fleet offers a variety of fishing trips, including day, full day, night, offshore and overnight extended trips. Novices and experienced anglers alike are welcome on all our trips, and our crew will be happy to give instructions to anyone who wants/needs assistance. No reservations are necessary on the majority of our day and/or night trips, with the exception of night bass and squid. Rods are available to rent for all of our trips, and bait is supplied free of charge. And 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 our offshore tuna trips are for you. We offer numerous offshore tuna trips beginning in late August and running until late October. Due to the overwhelming demand of these trips, reservations are needed. Also of special interest are our whale watch expeditions. These trips run in July and August, five days per week. We have enjoyed sighting 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.
