It’s got modern navigation, communication, and fish locating systems, it features an ice-box, and is equipped with outriggers and large live wells.

Captain Quinn will take you to reefs and wrecks and you’ll be targeting Snapper, Grouper, Tuna, Sailfish, Tarpon, and Shark. You’ll have the opportunity to bottom fish, deep sea fish, or kite fish. You’re free to keep all the fish you catch. Alternatively, you can return it back to the water. The captain loves teaching kids and they are more than welcome on board.

Everything you’ll need for fishing will wait for you on the boat. This includes rods, reels, terminal tackle, as well as lures and live bait. When the trip’s over, the captain will clean and fillet your catch with no extra charge. Licenses are included as well, so you only need to pack some food and drinks.

Visit Jersey Key "Whitewater" and let the captain take you to unforgettable sea adventures.

    Great for families with younger children. We fish shallower waters and much shorter rides to the fishing spots. On this trip, the waters will be calm and there will be tons of action. A great way to introduce kids to fishing where it's a relaxed atmosphere, calm seas, and lots of bites to keep their interest. Expect to catch mangrove snapper, sharks, and smaller grouper.
