Certified for larger groups (more than six passengers), the boat features a spacious fishing deck, fighting chair, tuna tubes, brine box, live wells and top-grade electronics plus Shimano and Penn gear—making it ideal for anglers of all experience levels.

The experienced captains—like Captain Kevin and Captain Mike—bring decades of local knowledge and tournament success, offering personalized attention and light‑tackle expertise.
With glowing reviews—highlighting professional crews, excellent equipment, comfort and family‑friendliness—Maggie Joe Sportfishing consistently earns high marks across platforms.
