About

Private Charters are just that, it’s your boat! You can go by yourself or take 5 of your friends. Because we fall under U.S. Coastguard regulations, we are allowed to have a maximum of 6 passengers on board. If you have additional anglers, NO PROBLEM, we can accommodate your group using additional boats. You can let the Captain know what type of fish you would like to target and the crew will try to accommodate, however, please keep in mind any fish can bite the hook!

On Private Charters you get to take home up to half the fish caught, up to 50 lbs. of fish. If 10 Mahi Mahi are caught, you get 5! We will fillet & bag the fish for you. Any single fish over 100 lbs. will not be cut, and will stay with the boat.
