Boat
The Offshore Hunter is a custom built 36’ Yellowfin Center Console fishing boat powered by Triple Yamaha 350HP engines. Without a doubt Yellowfin is one of the industry leaders in producing fishing boats, it has a flat deck which gives a full 360* unobstructed place to fish. The boat has been outfitted with the top of the line electronics from Garmin and Furuno 12” displays. There is a large t-top to protect you from the harsh Florida sun as well.
The Inshore Hunter is a 21' Action Craft Coastal Bay built in SWFL. Designed as a large bay boat, it has a very shallow draft of just 12" letting us float over grass flats and to get to where the fish live. A large capacity live well will keep our live bait fresh all day and let you keep on catching fish!
