The trip is built around extended, purposeful bottom and shark fishing: all bait and tackle are provided, the vessel carries required U.S.C.G. safety equipment, and the day is framed by wide ocean views and long runs between productive grounds.

Fishing the 20–30 Fathom Grounds

The trip is sold as an eight‑hour private charter for up to six people; bait and tackle are supplied by the operator, and guests may bring their own rod and reel if they prefer.
Safety Equipment and On‑Board Notes
The vessel carries all life safety equipment required by U.S.C.G. regulations; children 12 and under are required to wear the provided life vests. Guests should come prepared with sun protection and suitable outerwear for an all‑day trip.
