The Libby family and their boat
The company describes a family background in fishing and more than 20 years of guiding experience. The boat has a bathroom, air conditioning and Starlink Wi-Fi, useful distinctions for guests comparing a cabin boat with an open center console.
Children and beginners are welcome. The business emphasizes teaching fishing skills and releasing fish that cannot be retained, while helping guests keep a legal catch when available.
Four-, six- and eight-hour choices
The four-hour option is described as staying within sight of land and is suggested for younger children or beginners. A six-hour trip travels farther offshore. The eight-hour option allows trolling and bottom fishing for species such as snapper, grouper, amberjack and triggerfish.
The company also advertises bay trips, shark fishing, flounder gigging and sunset excursions. These involve different locations or techniques, so identify the experience you want when you call rather than assuming every itinerary includes all of them.
Booking and practical details
Contact Kevin by phone or email for current rates and availability. Fish cleaning can be added to the package; ask for its price along with the charter’s bait, tackle, license, gratuity and refreshment arrangements.
Confirm the departure dock, arrival time, passenger count and cancellation policy before paying. The official pages publish more than one address in different contexts, so use the captain’s boarding instructions rather than a general map result. The 32-foot boat and its amenities describe the main charter vessel; confirm the equipment used for any specialty gigging or bay trip.
Details checked September 26, 2026, using the operator’s published information. Rates, boats, meeting points and policies can change; confirm the final trip details directly. Listed species describe possible targets, not a guaranteed catch or an open harvest season.
