The boat and fishing
The operator describes a 17-foot Maverick HPX skiff with a casting platform, trolling motor, livewell and cooler. Its four-hour backcountry listings are designed for up to two guests. Confirm the boat and capacity when reserving a longer outing.

Targets and instruction
Bonefish, barracuda, snook, tarpon and tripletail appear in the flats listings. Other backcountry options include redfish, trout, black drum and jacks. The trip menu distinguishes beginner instruction from outings for experienced anglers, so explain your casting ability and goals.
Published starting fares
The booking site lists four-hour trips from $660, six-hour trips from $770 and eight-hour trips from $990. Confirm the current quote directly, including the chosen boat and group size. Fishing gear and licenses are advertised as included.
Arrival and preparation
The marina is at mile marker 81 on the bayside. Ask for the exact slip and arrival time. Bring snacks, drinks and sun protection, and discuss personal tackle before bringing it. Request the deposit, cancellation and weather terms for your booking.
