Contact and booking details

The Entertainer boat

Built in 2004, Entertainer is 65 feet long with a 19-foot beam. Its cabin has dinette seating, a sofa, refrigerator and microwave. Twelve bunks are listed for extended trips or resting. The upper deck is limited to ten passengers at a time.

The operator publishes a maximum of 45 passengers for private outings. Shared fishing has a separate limit of 40 and a minimum of 15. Ask for the actual passenger limit on the trip you want, particularly if it includes an overnight stay.

Buying a seat or reserving the boat

A shared trip combines guests from different households. The advertised six-hour fare is $175 for ages 13 and older and $150 for children 12 and younger. Availability depends on the schedule, enough bookings and acceptable weather.

A private charter keeps the boat with your group. One current page lists a six-hour base price of $3,100 for the first 15 guests and $200 for each additional passenger. Other site wording gives a different private base rate, so get a written total for your party rather than treating either figure as a final quote.

Fishing plans and longer trips

The operation offers Gulf fishing with reef species such as snapper and amberjack among the featured catches. Longer options extend beyond the six-hour outing, including full-day and overnight choices. More hours create more travel and fishing time, but the target list still depends on the season and conditions.

Tell the office whether the group includes young children, first-time anglers or guests who only want to ride along. Ask how many people can comfortably fish at once and whether a private trip or shared seats fit the group better.

Costs beyond the ticket

Rods, tackle, licenses, bait and ice are supplied. The shared-trip page lists a customary 20% crew gratuity as additional. Fish cleaning is priced separately at $0.30 per pound of whole fish. Include those items when comparing the outing with other charters.

Bring food and drinks because the boat does not sell meals aboard. Avoid glass containers. The operator asks guests to arrive 30 minutes early, so allow extra time for parking and finding the dock. Confirm the cancellation deadline and departure location with the office before travel.

Details checked October 1, 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.
