Karen Ann Charters – 21' Maritime Skiff FL

Karen Ann Charters and Captain Vinnie have been offering fishing trips in New York for years and now you can finally join them in Florida too! From December till the middle of April, you can find them in Stuart and take a trip in one of their boats.

You’ll be fishing aboard a 21’ Maritime skiff that accommodates up to 3 anglers. If you have a larger group, check out the captain’s second Stuart listing – the other boat can take up to 5 anglers! This boat features all necessary navigational electronics to easily find the fish, has a live bait tank, and wireless trolling motor.

You’ll explore the local inshore waters and flats, looking for tasty Redfish and Snook. You can also land Spotted Seatrout, Pompano, Ladyfish, and Amberjack. Trolling and casting are the best ways to catch them if you’re a beginner but if you really want to challenge yourself, try fly fishing. This advanced technique asks for lots of precision and patience.

After the trip, the catch is yours to keep and the captain will clean it for you free of charge. If you’re saving it for later, don’t forget your cooler. You’ll be provided with lots of top-notch fishing equipment, snacks, and drinks. Your fishing license is also covered by the captain.

Karen Ann Charters offer a professional service, useful fishing tips, and an unforgettable day on the water. Join them!
