Our Boats

Two boats built for two kinds of days: a 35-foot offshore center console for long runs to deep water, and a 27-foot catamaran for inshore, nearshore and scalloping.

All FAQs

Prices are per boat, not per person. Inshore trips on the 27' AmeraCat start at $695 for up to 2 anglers (half day) and $795 (full day); nearshore bottom fishing runs $995 to $1,595 for up to 4. Scalloping starts at $550 for up to 2. Offshore trips on the 35' run from $1,300 for a beginner half day to $3,495 for the Florida Middle Grounds day trip ($4,800 for the overnight), covering up to 4. Extra guests are $50–$100, up to 6. See Rates.

Pick the 35' offshore center console for deep sea fishing, the Middle Grounds, red snapper, or simply a bathroom on board. Pick the 27' AmeraCat for inshore fishing, nearshore bottom fishing up to 40 miles, young kids, or a lower-priced first trip. Scalloping runs on both: standard trips on the 27', "Luxury" trips with the private bathroom on the 35'. Not sure? Call us and we will match you to a trip.

Up to 6 guests on either boat. Most prices cover a base group of 2 or 4, and each extra guest adds $50 on scalloping trips, $75 on most inshore trips and $100 on offshore runs. Every trip page lists the exact figures. The one exception is the Overnight Middle Grounds charter: 4 people maximum, no add-on.

The boat is yours for the day. Every trip we run is private: your group only, nobody added to fill seats, and the price covers the boat rather than each person. That is why prices read "from $X for up to 2" or "up to 4", with a per-person add-on if you bring more. The captain plans the day around your group, from what you want to catch to how hard you want to fish.

Anywhere from 15–20 miles nearshore to the Florida Middle Grounds, 100+ miles out. Offshore trips on the 35' are sold by range: 30, 40, 50 and 80 Mile Max, the 120 Mile Max Middle Grounds run, and the Overnight Middle Grounds charter. The 27' AmeraCat runs nearshore bottom fishing from the 15–20 mile half day up to the 30 and 40 Mile Max. Further out usually means deeper water and bigger fish, but more running time.

The 35' offshore center console runs every offshore and deep sea trip, including the Florida Middle Grounds. It is the faster boat, with a larger fishing platform and a full private bathroom with a hand-washing station, so long days stay comfortable. The 27' AmeraCat handles inshore fishing, nearshore trips up to 40 miles, and scalloping. Both boats carry up to 6 guests.
