You'll be casting lines from a 25' Center console with space for 6 passengers. It has and all the essentials. There's a toilet on board for your convenience.

Your captain will provide rods and reels, along with lures. Live bait is available, but you should ask the captain whether you'll be catching it yourself.

April fishing trip
Half Day Trip (AM) on April 4, 20263 adults1 child
Captain was on time and very fast to get us on the fish. He did great with my 8 yr old daughter who needed more help than the rest of us. Very friendly and knew where the fish were and what tackle and bait to use. We also saw dolphins, a shark and manatee. It was a very cool experience for the kids. Highly recommended.

Captain was punctual. He was knowledgeable and knew where the fish were so we could catch them. He was very attentive and kept our hooks baited. Great with the grandkids.

Fed the fish more than catching them. On fish all morning and moved from area to area to find them. Captain Tim worked hard to get us on them. Highly recommended

Cornhusker tried his best to get us on several spots to catch fish. We didn’t catch as much as I expected, but he did a great job hitting several spots to try to get us fed. We didn’t get skunked, but not enough for dinner unfortunately. He was great with making sure our hooks were baited and did a good job keeping the boat where it needed to be despite the wind pushing us around. Would fish with him again!
