95% of the charter fishing boats are miles inland and take 30 minutes, an hour, or longer to reach the fishing destination. This takes precious time away from your experience. Our fleet is located at the Hillsboro Inlet Bridge, which is less than 2 minutes away from prime fishing grounds. This means you get to fish faster and longer.
