Why book a smaller boat when you can book with us the bigger boat?!

Air conditioning throughout the whole boat in the summertime and heating throughout the whole boat in the wintertime. Bathroom with full size shower, state rooms with beds to sleep in, televisions in all rooms with stereo. Kitchen with microwave, stove,  built-in coffee pont, under counter can open, built-in blender for blending and mixing drinks. Large sofa, separate Freezer and separate refrigerator, and so much more.
This is basically a floating condo.

If you have youngsters that you bring aboard they will also be allowed to drive the boat with the captain supervision. You get premium parking with us, that means you parked directly behind the boat with covered parking. So ask yourself, why should I book with a small boat ? With the sun beating me in the head. Much rougher ride. Many times a very wet ride, when I can charter the big boat, with a large amount of sitting upstairs for comfort so you can see long ways out, large comfortable cockpit for fishing, and so many amenities at your fingertips.

And all for basically the same price, fishing the same area. So you ask why are there not more of these big boats. It has a lot to do with the price of the boat and most of the companies cannot afford a big boat. And some could be the fact that they wanna give you less and collect more and make more. With us you will be treated with respect,  kindness and get the experience of luxury on your day of fishing. ( we do provide some drinks and snacks )

So book with us today and have the trip of your lifetime, make those memories, take those photos to show off to your friends. Book the Big Boat Fishing Charters today!

    Go out with a bigger luxury boat for the same price as the small boats. Leave the small center consoles behind in.Treat yourself to luxury.
