The company runs a mix of private and shared charters that target species commonly found around the inshore reefs and estuaries of the region. Trips include full-day 8-hour reef charters, 6-hour 3/4-day private trips, and half-day coastal reef and estuary options.
Guides on Hook Up Charters bring more than 20 years of local fishing experience. Private charters specifically name Shawry as a local expert with over 20 years of experience on select trips, while shared trips are led by experienced local guides. All outings use a custom-built boat designed for comfort and fishing performance. For private half-day trips the operator provides gear, refreshments and shaded comfort as part of the offering.
