The Bounty Sportfishing in Stuart

The Bounty Sportfishing pairs Captain Tony Ettari with a 42-foot Viking Express in Stuart. Its enclosed, air-conditioned spaces make it an option for groups that want cabin comfort alongside offshore fishing.

Contact and booking details

A private Viking for six guests

The Bounty accepts parties of up to six. Its enclosed helm gives passengers a place to sit and watch the fishing, while the cabin has a dinette, galley, bathroom and lounge seating. A Seakeeper stabilizer helps reduce rolling, although no boat can remove all ocean movement.

Captain Tony uses ocean-condition reports to help choose where to fish. The boat carries navigation and fish-finding electronics, radar, night-vision equipment and satellite communications. Its position-holding system also helps with deep drops and bottom fishing.

From sailfish to deep-water targets

Sailfish and mahi are central to the local program. Tuna and wahoo add offshore options, while snapper and grouper are possible bottom-fishing targets when conditions and regulations allow. The crew can plan around a particular species or build a day with several methods.

Swordfish and yellowfin trips have their own rates and requirements. Bahamas adventures are customized, with two- and three-day trips and longer itineraries advertised. Discuss the crossing, documents, lodging and included costs directly rather than treating a Bahamas visit as an ordinary Stuart day charter.

Compare the trip prices carefully

The home page lists a half day at $1,450, a three-quarter day at $1,650 and a full day at $1,900. It also advertises swordfish charters at $3,500 and yellowfin tuna trips at $3,100 plus fuel. These prices are for the boat’s private party, with a six-passenger limit.

A general rates-page introduction still mentions trips starting at $1,000. Use the named trip prices as planning figures and obtain a written quote. The operator recommends arriving around 6:45 a.m. for its usual full-day schedule, but says departure and return arrangements can be tailored.

Booking a comfortable day offshore

The crew supplies fishing equipment, including specialized electric reels where needed. Tell Tony whether your party includes children, new anglers or people who need frequent cabin breaks. The boat’s amenities are useful, but they do not determine whether a particular forecast is comfortable for your group.

Before paying, ask which bait, food, drinks, gratuity and fuel costs apply to your chosen outing. Request the cancellation policy and weather plan at the same time. For guests hoping to bring fish home, arrange cleaning and storage of any permitted catch with the crew.
