Inshore Charters

3–5 HoursFamily FriendlyMay – October

We work the wrecks, reefs, and bay structure for striped bass, flounder, and sea bass. Calm water — great for families, beginners, and anyone who wants fast action without a full day offshore.

We run out to where the water gets blue and the fish get bigger — targeting mahi mahi and tuna in the offshore canyons. Dress in layers; it's colder out there than you think.
