Up to four passengers may ride aboard, drivers must be 21 or older, and staff can assist guests with wheelchairs or walkers getting on and off the boats depending on water level.

What the day feels like

What the five-day rental feels like

You take charge of a small, stable fishing boat for five consecutive days — loading sunscreen, snacks and towels, launching, and spending daylight hours afloat before returning the craft by 5pm on day five. The boat’s half Bimini offers intermittent shade while the compact motor keeps handling simple for single-operator outings.
