Identity VerifiedIdentity VerifiedGuidesly Guarantee
Aquiline's boat is a 2023 Bluewave 2800 Makaira. She is equiped with the latest and greatest tech.  Some of the features are joystick control with seastation and auto pilot, sidescan & downscan sonar, ipilot trolling motor, radar, and a flushable head. She is fast, and fuel effient with her twin stepped hull design.  capable of running 74mph, we typically cruise at 45mph. That means we are running 50% faster and getting 50% better fuel economy over our compitition.  We offer island tours, dolphin watching, sunset cruises, and many other non-fishing trips.  For the fishermen, I do Inshore and Offshore Fishing trips.  Bottom fishing, sight casting, and trolling. Inshore we target red drum. speckle trout, sheaphead, flounder, and white trout.  Offshore we target cobia, triple tail, red snapper, mangrove snapper, spanish mackerel, jack cravalle, bull reds, and sharks.

Great fun! Great Captain! Great catch!

December 21, 2024

Thanks so much James! Beautiful boat, within seconds of putting the rods in the water everyone on the boat was hooked up! Super friendly, knowledgeable, and put us on to more fish than we knew what to do with. Thanks again man!

Captain James put us on fish immediately. Going for red snapper but the first fish on the hook was a cobia, and man talk about a fun fight! Snapper were in the area but he moved us because he wasn’t satisfied with the size that we were catching. In the new spot, not far from the first, we limited out on big snapper. He then put us on sharks and the fun was on again. As my dad says, a good time was had by all. Deckhand Austin is one of the most well mannered young men you will ever meet and he is at your beck and call for whatever you may need. The boat is awesome and provided plenty of room for multiple fish hookups simultaneously. Do yourself a favor and book a trip. You won’t regret it!
