A 23-Foot Hurricane, Ten Seats, One Big Day of Inshore Fishing Out of Saint James City.
The Sanibel Hurricane 23' is a centered, workmanlike 23‑foot center‑console built for groups who want to spend the day fishing the waters off Saint James City.

Outing Highlights
A roomy, reliable 23' center console
The Useppa Hurricane is a 23‑foot center‑console rated for 10 passengers and powered by a 150hp Yamaha — a configuration that balances passenger space with enough power for inshore runs and a day of drift-and-anchor fishing.
Essential systems onboard for finding fish
Expect practical electronics and fish‑care kit: GPS and depthfinder to locate structure, a livewell to keep bait or catch healthy, and a Bluetooth stereo to keep the mood lively between casts.
Group-friendly rental with convenient marina access
The boat is set up for groups — ten seats and complimentary parking for one vehicle — and Monroe Canal Marina offers free docking so you can return to secure, easy berthing after a day on the water.

The combination of passenger capacity and straightforward gear makes it a pragmatic platform for groups who prioritize fishing time over frills.
