THE BOAT

A fast, capable 32' Yellowfin

A private Yellowfin platform powered by twin Mercury 300s runs private charters designed for groups of one to six anglers, combining speed to offshore grounds with stability for bottom and reef fishing.

THE TARGETS

From snapper and grouper to sailfish and mahi

Choose reef/bay/wreck trips for grouper, snapper and other bottom species, tarpon trips for seasonal bridge live-baiting, or offshore trips for sailfish, tuna, mahi-mahi, wahoo and marlin.

THE FORMAT

Private, flexible trips — fishing or island play

Half-, three-quarter- and full-day private charters can focus on fishing (reef, tarpon or offshore) or mix fishing with swimming, sandbar stops and island hopping on island eco tours.

What the day feels like
