Outing Highlights

THE BOAT

A nimble 32’ Seavee Center Console

The trip centers on a 32’ Seavee center console—a fast, open fishing platform that keeps anglers close to the action and makes short work of Marathon’s inshore and nearshore runs.

THE GROUP

Intimate, small‑group fishing

Trips are limited to a maximum of six people, keeping the outing social but uncrowded so anglers can rotate hooks and work the boat efficiently.

THE SKILL

Local methods and coastal focus

Expect a true local approach to reef and flats fishing—hands‑on instruction and tactics suited to Marathon’s coastal water conditions.
