Our fleet consists of a 24’ IMC Rogue center console and a 24’ Everglades 243 bay boat. These boats are built for safety and comfort.
The 24’ Rogue is our primary fishing boat and is equipped with a sight fishing tower, Power-Pole anchor, Minn Kota trolling motor, Raymarine electronics, and over 30 rod holders. This boat was molded off the old Aquasport Sea Hunter and will have you looking classy on the water.
The 24’ Everglades is our go-to adventure boat with more comfortable seating, added shade, and a Cadillac-like ride. It’s versatile and also fully equipped with Minn Kota trolling motor and Simrad electronics.
