What sets them apart from most charters is their ability to find & catch fish AND their beautiful 31’ Contender Boat that is comfortable and quick. Our "Always Hookin" Contender is top-notch with a new interior, twin supercharged Mercury 300 Verado engines, and plenty of room to stretch out and fish.

They fish with newer quality equipment and rods and reels,they weigh less and are easier to reel. The Captains are also safety conscious, having newer electronics; EPIRB satellite beacon, satellite texting, 2 VHF radios, Type-1 personal flotation devices, and more.
