Highlights
Outing Highlights
Private boat and guided in-water support
Forever Young runs the trip from a private boat with an in-water guide and captain onboard; crew manage navigation, safety and the flow of the hunt so divers can focus on locating lobster.
Freedive or scuba—team-limited to keep it manageable
Charters accommodate up to four divers in the water at a time (the boat carries six passengers total), letting both freedivers and scuba divers work comfortable rotations during the 4–8 hour window.
All core equipment, license and refreshments included
The outing includes dive or spearfishing equipment, fishing license, bait and on-board refreshments; scuba trips include air (with nitrox and steel 100 tanks available for an extra fee).
What the day feels like
What the day feels like
This is a tight, small-boat experience: a private deck for your group, a brief briefing, and repeated short drops into the water to search structure and ledges for lobster. Whether you’re ducking below on a breath-hold or on scuba, guides position the boat, handle bait and surface support, and keep the day moving so everyone gets multiple chances at the hunt within the 4–8 hour charter.
