Fleet and comfort

The fleet page lists a 2025 Stingray 253 with twin 200-horsepower Suzuki engines, a T-top, Garmin electronics and a toilet. A 2023 Sea Pro 250 has a 300-horsepower Suzuki, Simrad displays, trolling motor and twin Power-Poles. Both are advertised for one to six anglers; verify the vessel assigned to your outing.

Fishing options and prices

Inshore fishing includes snook, redfish, trout, snapper and other bay species. Dedicated tarpon and nearshore trips are also offered. The homepage advertises inshore trips in a $650–$1,050 range and tarpon trips in a $900–$1,100 range. Package pages show additional options, so confirm the duration, guest count and final rate rather than assuming one price covers every trip.
