The Boat and the Gear

The boat is a 2001 Edgewater 175CC, powered by a 2008 Suzuki four-stroke 115 hp outboard. It can comfortably accommodate up to three passengers (plus the captain). It is equipped with a large casting platform at the bow, lockers for your gear, and plenty of rod holders. It also has a VHF radio, GPS and fish finder.

 

 

In my opinion, it is the perfect boat for fly fishing and inshore fishing in these waters. The deep-V hull can handle the chop that we encounter on most days, yet the boat only draws 10 inches, so we can get into some pretty shallow spots.

We use the boat for trolling inshore and along the coast for cero mackeral, bar jacks, bonito or yellowtail snapper. We also use the boat to get to the flats, but most of our flats fishing is done while wading, so please bring wading shoes or flats boots.

Our spinning rods are all equipped with top-quality Penn reels.

You are welcome to bring your own fly rod(s), or you can use one of ours. We have top-quality rods by Sage, Orvis and TFO. We have fly reels by Tibor, Sage, Fin-Nor and Orvis.

All charters include rods, reels, flies (all the necessary tackle), bottled water, soft drinks, ice, fuel, etc. You just need to bring wading shoes (flats boots), polarized sunglasses, and plenty of sunscreen!
