Your journey starts on a 27’ Cobia center console that can take up to 6 guests. It runs on a 225 HP engine with a maximum cruising speed of 35 knots, uses modern GPS, fishfinder, and radio navigation technology, and is equipped with outriggers and a livewell. There is even an onboard shower you can use.

These waters are known for Snook, Spotted Seatrout, Redfish, Mangrove Snapper, Ladyfish, Gag Grouper, Sheepshead, Black Drum, Blacktip Shark, Spanish Mackerel, Tripletail, and more – with any luck, it won’t be long before "Fish on!" On the day of your trip, you’re likely to freeline live bait, troll or bottom fish using light or heavy tackle.

If you choose to explore the backcountry and flats, you’ll be fishing for Snook and Redfish. Head further out to bottom fish for a variety of Snapper, Amberjack, and Grouper, or troll for Kingfish.
