THE BOAT

A compact, powerful deck boat

The 22ft Hurricane Deck Boat is paired with a 150 HP Yamaha engine, holds up to 10 people (six recommended for comfort), and comes equipped with a bimini and the safety gear needed for a full day on the water.

THE ROUTE

Fishing in the harbor to beach time at Cayo Costa

Choose to spend the day casting in Punta Gorda’s harbor or take a short run over to Cayo Costa to enjoy the island’s beach—both are set up as primary uses for this boat.

THE GEAR

Onboard electronics and fishing kit

The boat includes a 9‑inch Garmin GPS and fish finder, fishing chairs and rod holders, and a cooler—equipment that makes it easy to locate fish and keep a day’s haul and provisions chilled.

What the day feels like

How the day moves

Boarding in Punta Gorda, the Hurricane Deck Boat lets small groups spread out under the bimini, plot a course on the 9‑inch Garmin, and focus on fishing with purpose‑built chairs and rod holders—or throttle across toward Cayo Costa for a beach stop and shoreline downtime.
