About

  • The 24ft Carolina Skiff is top notch with the 140hp Tohatsu getting us from island to island to catch fish while providing a very roomy feel when aboard!
  • Equipped on the bow of the boat is a 80lb Minn Kota Terrova I-Pilot!
  • On the stern we have the dual 8ftft Power Pole Blades that keeps the vessel anchored while on the scallop grounds and fishing!
  • Comfortability is a major factor when being on a boat and that's why this rig is very open to all parties and their belongings!
  • A Yeti 110 will be holding all the fish we keep, if clients choose to do so.
  • The ultimate flats tower you see is one of the many advantages while fishing due to the captain being able to spot fish quicker and opens up the deck for fishing.
