Fishy Business Charters offers amazing inshore and offshore trips to suit any taste. Captain Eric Evans has been fishing since he was a child, and loves nothing more than helping others land a prize catch. He and his experienced first mate do everything they can to make sure that happens on each trip.

The 31’ Yellowfin center console boat is a serious fishing machine. Powered by twin 400 HP Yamaha engines, it has a maximum cruising speed of 42 knots, making sure you get to the best fishing spots as soon as possible. The boat also comes fully-rigged with GPS, fishfinder, outriggers, and a live bait tank.

On board you’ll find everything you will need for a full day’s fishing, including a selection of lures, rods, and reels. There are licenses for all on board, and even has a head on board for the longer fishing marathons. The crew will also clean and fillet anything you want to take home free of charge.

There’s a variety of trips you can choose from. From a quick 3 hours hunting Tarpon and Sharks along the beachfront to a 10-hour marathon session offshore doing battle with huge Sailfish, Swordfish, and Tuna, you will be sure to find the trip, and with any luck the fish you are after.

Captain Eric believes in a customer-first attitude and will do all he can to make your trip with him one of the best you’ll ever have!
