The deck offers an unobstructed 14-foot beam cockpit with flush coaming pads, 50-gallon pressurized livewells, and full walk-around rod clearance. Powered by twin Caterpillar commercial diesels, we maintain a dry 20-knot cruise to outer wrecks regardless of head seas.
At the helm, dual high-frequency CHIRP sonar, open-array bird radar, and automated positioning hold over tight boulder structure. Full offshore safety suite includes a hydrostatic six-person Solas liferaft, redundant VHF radios, and commercial survival suits.

Boarding begins thirty minutes before lines slip. Tackle is matched to current tide speed, safety gear is reviewed, and terminal rigs are baited before clearing the breakwater.
The captain marks bottom temperature breaks and structure edges. The boat positions upstream so our private group holds productive lines directly through target feeding lanes.
Mates tend lines, manage tangles, and coach rod technique continuously. As target species shift with tide movement, sinker weights and jigs adapt immediately to keep hooks on bottom.
Catch stays chilled in deep saltwater brine slush all day. Back at Slip 14, the crew fillets, skins, and bags your harvest ready for dinner coolers.
Fish don't bite out of courtesy. You read the tide, position the boat where the structure breaks, and keep fresh bait working the stone until the cooler is full.
