Contact and booking details

Boats and group size

The fleet page lists a C-Hawk 25 bay boat and a 21-foot Shoalwater with a Yamaha 200 SHO. Both have fishing electronics, shallow-water anchors, trolling motors, radios, and coolers. The maximum is four guests per boat. Larger parties can ask about coordinated trips with other guides.

Inshore and tarpon prices

Inshore rates are $650 for four hours, $850 for six hours, and $1,100 for eight hours. They cover one to three anglers, with $50 for a fourth. Five-hour tarpon trips are $1,000 and ten-hour trips are $2,000. A fourth tarpon angler adds $100.

Included equipment

Rods, reels, bait, tackle, license coverage, ice, and built-in cooler space are listed. Inshore pricing also includes fish cleaning. Leave large personal coolers in the car and use the boat’s cooler space for snacks and drinks.

Before reserving

Inshore targets include redfish, snook, and trout. Nearshore outings and tarpon trips offer different fishing opportunities. Confirm the selected boat, launch point, deposit, and guest cancellation terms. If Justin cancels for weather, the FAQ offers rescheduling or a refund of prepaid money.
