Heavy Tackle Fishing Charters In Marathon

" It is one of the finest fishing boats built for both tournament fishing or the family fishing trip. The center console concept works great for catching of large fish that swim fast like sailfish, Mahi, Wahoo or Tarpon. This allows the angler to quickly move to front of the boat keeping the line from rubbing on the boat and more fish on the hook! With twin 300hp Yamaha power it is a quick, short comfortable ride to the fishing grounds. This boat has an awesome tower to help the captain see fish and birds at a distance, which helps put more fish on your lines and in the box! It is also versatile enough to fish inshore for Tarpon and other shallow water, as well as way offshore for Swordfish or Marlin." Read More
