A roomy 48' custom charter built for groups
The Tradition Charters 48' Custom Charter is Coast Guard certified for up to 25 passengers and offers big-boat comforts—air conditioning, a full bathroom and bunks—so anglers can rotate between the deck and quiet interior during the four-hour trip.
Offshore trolling made turnkey
This is an offshore trolling trip with everything provided: bait, tackle, fishing licenses for everyone on board, plus safety equipment and first aid—allowing the party to focus on the fishing rather than logistics.

The trip is run as a private charter (rate listed at $1,200) and the operator can support full-service entertainment for corporate events—catering, music and more—on request to tailor the day to your group.
What the day feels like
What four hours offshore feels like
The outing is a concentrated four-hour push offshore to troll for whatever the day yields: lines out, crews rotating between the cockpit and the shaded interior, and a rhythm set by the swell and the bite. With bunks and a climate-controlled cabin, the boat allows for short rests between drifts; the operator supplies bait, tackle and the required licenses so the day is mostly about the fishing itself.
