Darryll Mills

Independent Guide

Captain Darryll grew up around the ocean. As a young fisherman he enjoyed many exciting trips fishing along the eastern coast of South Africa. This is commonly called the "wild coast" because of it's wild unforgiving waters. Darryll learned a lot on these waters and grew to respect mother nature and the power she has. Added to the experience gained in South Africa, he also has experience on boats in Australia, the United Kingdom and the Caribbean. This world wide experience has led him to being an experienced Captain on both power and sail vessels along with holding the NAUI Divemaster certificate. Darryll is also an USCG Instructor teaching classes for new captains.

World Class Bertram Sport Fishing
Our Bertram Sport Fishing boat is known as a fish catcher. Bertram has been around for 60 years and they are still being built. This is because of their high standard in quality design and engineering. We are high built quality and have an excellent safety record.

Our boat is powered by twin Turbo Cummins engines that give us 720hp. This gives us a top speed around 34mph. Our normal cruising speed is around 25 mph. Fast enough to get us out to the deeper water to catch our fish.

The cabin is enclosed and is heated and cooled with a powerful Northern Lights generator. Having the generator on board not only allows us to cool the cabin in the hot summer months but also to heat it when we fish on the cooler winter days. The enclosed cabin is an advantage over the open center console boats when the wind and rain picks up. You'll stay nice and dry. The cabin has a couch, bench seating, fresh water sink, fridge, toaster oven and other creature comforts.

On the overnight or extended trips, you get to enjoy the comfort of the cabin with a place to lie down and sleep. The private bathroom with its hot and cold water shower, sink and toilet helps with the creature comforts of being on the water for extended time.

No matter what the sea conditions, time of year, phase of the moon, this is where you want to be.

Our vessel is documented with USCG and holds two Federal Fishing Permits. Without the permits charter boats are not allowed to cross the 9 mile boundary mark into Federal waters. With both the Reef Fish and Pelagic permits, we can enter Federal Waters. This advantage helps when Red Snapper season opens along with all other species in deeper water. Tuna, Wahoo and Mahi Mahi are just a few that we can catch.
