Seasonal Tarpon / Shark trips are available aboard the Hewes and the Skeeter and are listed as four-hour adventures for those two boats. The Skeeter trips specifically note access to both Florida Keys waters and Everglades National Park. Group sizes vary by boat: the Hewes seasonal trip lists capacity for up to two anglers on one trip option, the Skeeter allows up to four anglers for certain fishing trips and up to three anglers on its seasonal tarpon/shark trip, and other boat options are available to suit different party sizes.
