Come join the captain and crew of Gone Fishin’ Sport Fishing Charters and let them help you make lasting memories with family and friends on your next fishing adventure.

Captain Mark Elliott has been in the charter business for over five decades and has instilled this same passion and dedication for fishing into his son, Captain Mark Elliott Jr. Capt. Mark Jr has been the first mate on “Gone Fishin’” since the age of 8. As soon as he was 18, he officially joined his father to carry on his legacy.  

Together, the two of them have over 70 years of experience fishing the waters of the Delaware Bay and the Atlantic Ocean. With their combined know-how, rest assured that these two will do everything possible to make sure your experience is unforgettable.

The “Gone Fishin’” is a 39’ Key West #1. Originally built to commercially fish in Key West, Florida, Capt. Mark has converted this boat into a versatile charter fishing machine. The “Gone Fishin’” has an extra large cockpit, which gives 6 anglers plenty of elbow room to take on any fishing battle.

From fishing for Black Drum and Striped Bass in the Delaware Bay to targeting various pelagic species such as Bluefin Tuna, Mahi Mahi, and Wahoo in the Atlantic Ocean, this boat has everything you need to take on your next adventure.

You won’t have to worry about the hassle of bringing your own equipment either. The “Gone Fishin’” has a number of top quality Star Rods accompanied with Daiwa reels to choose from.

Come on down and let Capt. Mark and Capt. Mark Jr take you on your next fishing adventure!
