It can cater to up to 4 anglers fishing at the same time and comes powered by twin Johnson engines. It also features downriggers, an ice-box, and modern navigational electronics and safety gear.

You’ll be going up to 15 miles from the coast in pursuit of the likes of Mahi Mahi, Wahoo, Barracuda, and Musselcracker. The captain will show you his favorite hotspots and a variety of efficient techniques, including trolling, bottom fishing, spinning, jigging, and popping.
