The rich waters of Florida offer an extensive list of target species. Closer to the shore, aim for Tarpon, Snook, Spotted Trout, and Mangrove Snapper. Venture a few miles further to encounter Kingfish, Amberjack, Cobia, Grouper, Red Snapper, and Skipjack Tuna. Benefit from a catch-and-clean service provided by the first mate.

As a delightful bonus, you can keep your catch, and Captain Richard ensures it's cleaned for you.
