About Your Trip

Get the whole crew together and hop aboard with Captain Donny for an unforgettable day of family-friendly fishing fun! Whether you're new to the sport or a seasoned angler, this inshore adventure is all about making memories, catching fish, and enjoying time on the water together.

Your ride for the day is a 23’ Custom Hanson powered by a reliable 200 HP Yamaha V6 Saltwater Series engine—perfect for cruising the inshore waters quickly and comfortably. With room for up to 6 guests, this trip is ideal for families, friend groups, or anyone looking to experience the thrill of the catch in a relaxed, welcoming setting.

Captain Donny has outfitted the boat with everything you need to maximize your time on the water. The wireless trolling motor allows for a stealthy approach to the fish, while GPS and fishfinder technology help zero in on the day’s hottest bite. There’s also a livewell packed with fresh bait, plus an ice box to keep your snacks and drinks chilled throughout the trip.

This 4- to 6-hour inshore trip is all about targeting the most active species of the season—and with Captain Donny’s expertise, that often means going after Snook, Mangrove Snapper, Mackerel, Jack Crevalle, Speckled Trout, Grouper, and even the mighty Tarpon when they’re running. With live bait making up the bulk of your arsenal (Captain Donny is up before the sun gathering it fresh!), you’ll be set up for success the moment your lines hit the water.

All rods, reels, tackle, lures, and live bait are included in your trip, along with bottled water and a cooler full of ice to keep you refreshed. Plus, at the end of the day, Captain Donny will clean and bag your catch free of charge—so dinner is already halfway done by the time you leave the dock.

Just bring your favorite snacks, a good attitude, and your sense of adventure. Captain Donny will take care of the rest and make sure your day on the water is one the whole family will talk about for years to come!
