About Your Trip

Looking for a thrilling battle with a giant sea monster that twists, turns, flips, and whirls on your line? Look no further and join Captain Jared for a half day tracking Tarpon in the waters off Boca Grande pass, known as the Tarpon Capital of the World! These bucket list fish make a glorious fight with spectacular runs. Captain Jared will chase the Silver Kings while you battle from the fighting chair on the bow!

Catching Tarpon put up an incredible fight. They are known to jump up to 6 feet in the air near the end of your battle! This trip promises to be nothing short of electrifying.

Your vessel is a 24’ Skeeter powered by a 300hp Yamaha engine. The fighting chair in the bow is well secured, like a throne for battle.
