The boat and group size

Fishing takes place aboard a custom 23-foot Tremblay flats boat with space for up to four anglers. Its shallow draft and poling platform support flats work, while built-in storage and coolers serve a longer day. Two anglers are suggested for focused sight fishing. Larger groups can ask about coordinated boats.

Fishing and additional experiences

Half- and full-day outings target species such as redfish, seatrout, snook, cobia and tripletail, with other opportunities changing seasonally. Fly-fishing trips welcome experienced casters and beginners. Shore lunches can be added to full days, while scalloping, scenic river tours and birding offer alternatives.

What the charter includes

The published inclusions cover rods, reels, terminal tackle, bait, ice, fishing-license coverage and catch cleaning and packaging. Bring food, drinks, sun protection, polarized glasses and a cooler for the journey home. Personal fishing equipment is welcome, with arrangements made beforehand.

Prices, reservations and weather

No fixed current rate table was confirmed in the reviewed pages. Contact Toney with dates, group size and the type of outing for a quote. Launch details depend on the plan and conditions. Ask for cancellation terms before reserving; the website says unsafe weather can require rescheduling.
