You will fish aboard "Reel 1 Up" a 25 foot 250 Wellcraft Coastal, powered by a 225 Suzuki outboard. Our top speed is 32 knots fully loaded, so we spend less time getting to and from the dock and more time on the fish. If you have kids like many of us do the cabin is a great place for them to get out of the sun and play with a few toys. For you ladies, we have a toilet on board that is always clean. The boat has a live well, fish boxes, and a cooler to keep all your refreshments cold. We also have our dive and fishing boat "Spear 1 Up" a 28 foot 2004 Dusky, powered by twin 175hp Mercury Opti Max Outboards. This vessel cruises at 32 knots and has a top end of 42 knots.
