There are still a few spaces left on the August 17 pelagic trip, August 16 is now full. This trip will leave from Key Largo.
I am using a new boat, which holds 6 passengers, a nice small group! It is a 32 ft. catamaran, which cruises at 33 miles per hour!! The top speed with
6 passengers plus the captain and me is 40 miles per hour!! We will be able to get out to the deep water areas almost 3-times faster than typical
head boats and we will be able to chase birds if the seas permit it. Twin 225 horsepower 4-stroke outboard engines power the “CAT”, which are much less noisy than 2-stroke or diesel engines. We can easily approach birds without spooking them. The catamaran hull is more stable and rides nicer than the typical V-hull boats. I will be chumming heavily, which was very
productive on the last trip.
The cost is $125 per person. A great price for a small custom tour!! A portion of the proceeds will go to Tropical Audubon Society.
Please e-mail me soon or call to reserve the few remaining spaces.
Thanks.
