About
Our night time bullynetting adventures are like nothing we've offered before, on these night time adventures we'll take you around to some of the local flats to hunt for some Florida Spiny Lobster! The majority of the trip will be spent in depths from less than a foot to about 4 feet of water. Our completely custom bullynetting boat the "NIGHTWALKER" has been customized specifically for night time lobster fishing. With the helm pushed all the way forward on a spacious deck and a comfy captains chair plenty big enough for two people to sit. We have multiple lights built right into the front deck that drop into the water and illuminate about 40ft out and around the whole boat to make it easy for seeing the lobster walking at night. The boat is equipped with everything needed to have a fun and successful night on the water. On the deck of the boat we have beanbags for a comfy ride from spot to spot and a cooler big enough for any food and drinks your crew would like to bring along. Join us for one of the coolest excursions the Florida Keys has to offer!
