Top Gun SportFishing

There are many charter fishing boats to choose from in Miami, FL, but few of them offer a professional offshore experience. At miamifishing.com, our goal is to provide the ultimate miami fishing experience, but hey…we get booked quite regularly and aren’t always available on our customer’s desired dates.  When it comes to referring our clients or anglers interested in fishing with us to other captains, we take that responsibility seriously.

Top Gun Sportfishing, operated by Captain Nel Martinez, is absolutely one of the best charter operations in the entire Miami fleet. Capt. Nel is a native angler and grew up fishing offshore and inshore from Miami to the Keys. His extensive experience fishing off Key Biscayne, Miami Beach, and the Ragged Keys provides his anglers with a truly world class fishing experience.  Capt. Nel specializes in kite fishing for sailfish and is an expert in wreck fishing for trophy amberjacks, kingfish, and groupers.

The Top Gun is a legacy vessel which has been active in the Miami Sport Fishing community for more than two decades. A 41′ Hatteras rigged specifically to fish Miami waters, the vessel is equipped with top of the line electronics and high end tackle featuring Daiwa reels paired with custom Top Gun Rods. The Top Gun is a sportfishing yacht featuring an air-conditioned salon, beautifully remodeled with granite countertops, a full refrigerator, TV/VCR/DVD and CD player. For anglers seeking both comfort and a world class fishing experience, the Top Gun is hard to beat.
One of the advantages of fishing aboard a sportfishing yacht is visibility.  

Capt. Nel MartinezCapt. Nel operates the Top Gun from the tower, which provides a full 360 degree view of the seascape. The Top Gun’s tuna tower is ideal for spotting fish, birds, or floating debris – making it an invaluable asset during the summer months when mahi mahi move in thick.

Aside from earning the reputation as one of the most experienced Captains in Miami, Capt. Nel is extremely personable. His professionalism, amiability, and laid back attitude make him an ideal Captain to guide beginning, intermediate, and experienced anglers. Charter fishing is largely about the experience, and although catching fish is a large part of a succesfull day, a courteous and experienced crew makes all the difference. 1st Mate Mario Valladeres ensures that Top Gun customers enjoy a first class fishing experience while Nel puts the crew on the fish.  Offshore fishing is a team effort between the captain and the mate – teamwork is crucial – and it takes experience to stay efficient and smooth when the bite is hot! Capt. Nel and Mario have fished together for years and consistently put their customers on the fish.  Whether you’re interested in catching mahi mahi or kitefishing for sailfish, Nel and Mario can get the job done!

The Top Gun offers a variety of sport fishing charters and is most popular for its twilight tuna excursions during the late spring and early summer. Nel and Mario have been  featured in the Miami Herald and on television for their ability to target, hook, and land large tunas during the peak Blackfin migration. Capt. Nel and Mario are also very experienced with swordfishing, both night time drifting and deep dropping during the day.
