Most of his charters catch over a hundred fish a day. Capt. Troy works hard to put his wealth of knowledge and talent to work for you. He specializes in fly fishing, deep sea, trolling, and sight fishing charters both inshore and offshore, targeting around 25 species.

The list of your potential catches includes Mahi Mahi, Red Snapper, Mangrove Snapper, Black Seabass, Sailfish, Little Tunny, King Mackerel, Jack Crevalle, Cobia, Barracuda, Amberjack, and Bluefish to name a few. With those amazing species all among the popular catches, it’s hard to resist a trip!

paying passengers and comes powered by twin 250 HP Yamaha 4-stroke engines. Cruising at a top speed of 60 knots, the boat can get you and your party to the hottest spots quickly and safely. Plus, there is a toilet on board, which is much-needed when you spend your day offshore.
