The charter is owned by Captain Curtis Bush who is a 4th-generation captain. The Captain of the vessel Max Drag 2 is Captain Christopher Powell( Capt Bebo). He’s genuinely happy when he sees his guests’ smiling faces, so he’ll go the extra mile to make sure you enjoy your trip..

You’ll head out aboard a very comfortable boat that provides a dry and fast ride being powered by two 475 Detroit engines. The 42’ Bertram offshore sportfishing boat is made for long-distance trips and built to withstand any weather conditions, so sit back and relax on what promises to be a thrilling fishing adventure.

She comes fitted with comfortable padded seating, a toilet, a bedroom, and a kitchen for your convenience, as well as a flybridge from which you can fish and sightsee. The onboard GPS and fishfinder are used to locate the schools of fish, and the outriggers to maximize the catch while trolling.

These guys were awesome! Nemo came with the banter while steering the ship and Ronnie helped everyone (including our 4yo) catch a fish! Our family had a wonderful time. The company was great and the hard work and determination for a great experience was shown from start to finish! Ronnie prepped our catch at the end and we all celebrated with a wonderful meal, best fish prep we’ve had the 3 years we have been coming! Thank you all so much for an amazing day!
