With comfortable seating and ample space for up to three anglers, the boat provides a smooth, stable ride that’s perfect for small groups and families. Whether you’re chasing tarpon offshore or casting inshore flats, this boat offers a safe and reliable platform for an enjoyable day on Sarasota’s waters.
