The boat is outfitted with a 250 HP Yamaha engine and has plenty of space for up to 4 anglers to fish at the same time. The onboard navigational electronics will show you where the fish hide, and if you need to be extra quiet, there’s a wireless trolling motor that will make it happen.
Capt. Luke will provide quality Shimano and Penn fishing equipment for you to use, and he also has specialized Trout gear, in case that’s your species of choice.

Luke will have life jackets for the whole family.

2 Hour Evening Trip
Great captain
Luke was fantastic - we had to change the location where to meet, but he nevertheless was there before time. Fishing wasn't easy what I very much like (otherwise I could just go to any fishing pond). Lot's of explanations by Luke, great sunset and a full moon evening - almost cinematic... Next time we'll take a longer tour!

Catching fish with Captain Luke!
We had a great time out on the river catching redfish and trout with Captain Luke. His boat and tackle were top notch and he’s a good dude. Highly recommend.
