THE VESSEL

A Private Platform for Big Groups

The Mary B III is set up for medium to large groups and is reserved exclusively for your party—ideal for corporate outings, bachelor parties, birthdays, and large family gatherings.

THE FISHING

Multiple Techniques — Offshore to Shark

Trips may include offshore and reef fishing and employ techniques such as trolling, live bait fishing, kite fishing, shipwreck fishing, deep dropping, and shark fishing, chosen according to conditions and guest preference.

THE FLEXIBILITY

Not Just Fishing — Customize Your Day

If your group prefers not to fish, the private charter can be tailored into a sunset cruise or a private Intracoastal tour—everything is arranged for your group alone.

What the day feels like

What the Day Feels Like

Across an eight‑hour private charter the Mary B III becomes your group’s mobile base: crew members provide instruction and assistance as you fish offshore or along reefs with included tackle and bait, or they will reconfigure the day for a relaxed sunset or Intracoastal cruise—either way the boat and crew are dedicated to your party for the full day.

Suitability

Who it's for

Who gets the most from this charter—and who needs to note the onboard rules.

1
Large Groups & CelebrationsWell suited for corporate outings, bachelor parties, birthdays, and large family groups; the boat is offered as a private charter for your party but guests must observe onboard rules about beverages and personal items.
2
Experienced AnglersA good match for anglers looking to employ a range of techniques (offshore, reef, shark fishing) with crew assistance and included tackle and bait—expect an instructional, hands‑on trip while following the operator’s rules on what can be brought aboard.
3
FamiliesFamilies can book this private option for a group day on the water, but should keep personal items to a minimum and follow the policy prohibiting hard liquor and glass containers.
4
Non‑Fishing GroupsGroups who prefer a scenic outing rather than fishing can convert the charter into a sunset cruise or Intracoastal tour, subject to the same onboard restrictions and requests to limit personal gear.
