  • Real-estate and house-hunting creators
  • Chase-boat filming for creators on other vessels
  • Out-island, beach, or sandbar shoots
  • Modeling and brand content

  • Wide open deck for clean camera angles
  • Enclosed cabin for gear storage and shade
  • Upper station for elevated cinematic shots
  • USB charging onboard for cameras, phones, drones, and mics

Every trip includes

Everything You Need. No Upsells. No Added Fees.

What's included

  • Bottled water
  • Fish cleaning at the dock
  • Coolers on board for your catch and for your food and drinks
