Deep sea fishing. I need help

So I need to help plan a bachelor party. He wants to go deep sea fishing and catch the sport fish like tuna and marlin. He was thinking Venice. What are some recommendations? What kind of costs am I looking at? Around 10 people going.
Other locations will be considered.

10 people is going to be a lot on a boat. and marlin fishing can get boring if they aren't into it, plus at least 3 will get seasick/drunk and start puking everywhere.

Call up Lance Walker from Fish Commander. He is running some bigger boats these days out of Grand Isle/Fourchon, but not sure if they could accommodate 10.

Just do a tuna trip, plan on about 400 per person to be safe

We just did a trip like this for my brother's bachelor party however we used a friends sport fisher. We paid fuel and food and they took us out. Burned $2,000.00 in fuel but did an overnight trip trolling both days. I looked at a few of the charter links on Cypress Cove Marina's website and the going rate seems to be $1500 plus fuel, bait ice for a day trip and $2500 plus fuel, bait, ice for over night trip. I don't think you will be able to put 10 guys on any of them though. We were on a 46' bertram and it was tight with 8.

For that price, just head to Cabo...

Expect to pay around $1000 as an additional charge for gas.
Then you have to tip the captain and deck hand. Maybe $100 each.
We paid this for four of us fishing for yellow fin tuna.

10 on a boat for tuna and marlin will be almost non existent in LA.
Mosy captains licenses are good for 6 people on a charter max. You will be better off taking 2 boats. I would leave at midnight and return the next evening. 16 hour trip.

There are plenty of boats in Orange Beach that do 24/36hr overnight tuna trips. You usually get two bites of fishing for the tuna and will also stop and get your bottom fish on the way back. Plenty of boats large enough to accomadate 10 comfortably. The price is anywhere between 4500 & 6500 plus tip.
