THE APPROACH

Light & Heavy Tackle, One Trip

This charter combines bay and jetty techniques with a heavy-tackle hunt so you get both fast, fun catches and opportunities to battle larger fish — a deliberate mix aimed at variety and the thrill of a big fight.

THE RIG

36' Contender Powerboat

The trip runs aboard a 36' Contender equipped with triple 2022 250HP Honda engines, offering the speed and stability needed to serve both bay/jetty work and the offshore monster hunts.

THE SERVICE

Full Service — Gear and Filleting Included

All tackle and fishing gear are provided; you only need your license and a cooler. Catches are expertly filleted and bagged for you at trip’s end, so you walk off the boat ready to head home with dinner.
