As one of the true island natives and a 5th generation angler, Captain Scotty Darna has built a reputation for always catching quality fish. He is also knowledgeable of the area and local wildlife.
You will spend your fishing expedition on a spacious 24' bay boat that was custom-built by the captain himself to be a lean fishing machine. The vessel is rigged with a 150 HP Yamaha engine and has plenty of room to accommodate up to 5 anglers.
On board, you'll find excellent navigational electronics, plenty of comfortable seating, and a live bait well. Capt. Scotty will provide all the necessary fishing equipment for the trip, as well as fishing licenses for his guests. After your trip, you will get your catch cleaned and filleted, which means you can savor it for dinner.
There's a variety of trips to choose from, and depending on your preferences, you can choose a 4, 6, or 8-hour expedition.

Scott had dolphins swimming right up to the side of the boat and jumping behind the boat multiple times. The kids and us adults were all amazed, and his knowledge of them was fascinating as well. He was so approachable and very patient with our 3 kids, they haven’t stopped talking about it since

Great trip, great guide, lots of fish. Would highly recommend
Super nice. And knowledgeable captain who arrived early fully equipped. Big morning of snook fishing priori to hitting a wreck where we hit grouper, cobia a jack and a shark. Kept his contact information as I will absolutely call him again. Highly recommend.
What an awesome captain had a great time got me on fish quick. We were able to catch Red fish, Snook, real nice Speckled trout.
We had such a great day with Scotty! Started out with him picking us up right at the dock of the hotel we were staying at. We have been on charters with other captains in the area and caught so much more this trip and had such a better experience, we had a some big trophy fish for pics and a bunch to take home for a fish fry . Can’t wait to go again but next time for a whole day!

The charter operator canceled 40 days prior to the trip date. This is an automated posting.
