Choose the vessel
The published fleet includes the SeaHunter Compass Rose and the 63-foot Blind Squirrel. Boat size, facilities and available trips vary. Explain your group size and fishing goals before choosing a vessel. This listing includes the related fleet rather than listing each boat as a separate business.
Specialty outings
Options include reef and wreck fishing, offshore trips, harbor tarpon fishing and shallow-water shark fishing. The operator also advertises Dry Tortugas trips and fishing around Gulf shrimp boats. These longer routes require suitable weather and a different schedule from a short harbor outing.
Trip planning
Half-day, three-quarter-day and full-day trips are advertised. The shrimp-boat page describes early departures and runs of roughly 25 to 65 miles. Discuss travel time, fuel charges and the realistic fishing window before committing to a distant destination.
Booking details
Request a current quote for the specific boat and route. Confirm passenger limits, gear, licenses, drinks and any fish-cleaning arrangements. Ask about the restroom and shade if comfort is a priority. The operator’s direct email is useful for agreeing on a detailed itinerary and meeting point.
