Big‑fish contest and daily pot
Onboard competition raises the energy: participants get in on the pool where the biggest fish of the day wins the pot, a social edge to a day of angling.
Steam out to farther fishing grounds
Full‑day deep‑sea trips let the boat steam out to those faraway fishing spots without sacrificing fishing time, putting anglers where the bigger fish roam.
Crew fillets and skins your catch
After a day on the water one of the experienced mates will fillet and skin your catch on the way in, so your catch is ready for dinner when you get home.
