The business lists four main trip types: the 3 Hour Private Sunset Cruise (private charter for up to 6 passengers), Premium Upper Level Private Charters for Gulf fishing with flexible trip durations, Mid Level Private Charters that include an onboard bathroom for added comfort, and Shared Charters designed for groups of 6 to 12 guests.
