THE LOCAL EDGE

Captains with Decades of Local Knowledge

The guides’ long familiarity with Jupiter’s reefs and drift lines is the central advantage—clients are led to the sites most likely to produce lobster and fish over a compact, focused six‑hour window.

THE HUNT

Lobster and Spearfishing on Drift Sites

This is a purpose‑built hunt: multiple drift dives target lobster and reef fish, with the boat and captain positioning teams on productive pockets while divers work within established hunting practices.

THE REGULATIONS

Licenses, Catch Limits and Equipment Rules

Hunters must hold a saltwater fishing license, observe local catch limits, carry and be able to use a DSMB, and follow the operator’s rules—DPVs are not permitted on hunting trips unless the operator’s DPV course has been completed.
