The crew believes there is no greater joy than watching kids reel in a fish of a lifetime. Come aboard for a fun-packed trip inshore or offshore and let’s get salty!

Your boat for the day will be a 29’ Dusky center console powered by a 250 HP Suzuki engine and equipped with modern GPS, fishfinder, and VHF radio electronics. The boat can accommodate up to 6 anglers and is equipped with a livewell to provide you with live bait. For any help you may need during your trip, there will be a first mate on board at your disposal.

You and the crew can fish inshore, nearshore, offshore, as well as reefs, wrecks, and flats.

You’re free to keep your catch, as well as to bring kids on the trip.

The captain will provide you with all the tackle, rods, reels, live bait, and lures. Should you decide to keep your catch, they also clean and fillet it free of charge.

4 Hour Trip – Shark Hunt (AM) on August 19, 20254 adults
Such a great time! My family went out as a first time experience and we knew it was a hit and miss. You never know what you’ll catch or if you catch anything at all. I got boat sick, but my family had a great time. We caught 2 good size sharks. Our captain was so chilled and answered every question we had. After our trip, he cleaned and cut everything up for us! Worth every penny.

6 Hour Trip – Combo (PM) on November 2, 20253 adults
My husband and son did this trip and loved it. Although they only caught one notable fish, they thoroughly enjoyed the experience. They plan to do another one next year at a time when they will likely be more successful with the catch. This 6-hr trip was very worth it and they had a great time with the crew.

Fantastic trip!
4 Hour Bay and Jetty Trip on June 17, 20252 adults1 child
1st trip for my kids and was hoping they could catch something from the salt. Captain knew the kids were inexperienced and got them on bait fish. Once we had what we needed took us out so the boys could catch big stuff. And they did. Oldest and I will book again, youngest enjoyed the boat ride through the big waves more than the fishing, but he a bit young still, another couple years and he'll get it
