Charters are aboard the ‘Sandy Anna’, a first class 26’ Center Console Mako that is equipped with a 200HP Johnson engine, top of the line Furuno GPS Navigation and Digital Imaging Fishfinder electronics, and multimedia system. It also features a flybridge, fighting chair, outriggers, tuna tubes, live bait tank, ice box, and light tackle.
