Red Eye
Charter Boat

36' Topaz

The Red Eye is a 1982 36' Topaz.  She is our "OG" fish Killin, wave busting, "been there-caught that!" boat. We have owned this boat since 2001. She has been a testiment to the build quality of Topaz Boats. She has A/C in the lower cabin, forward and rear bunks, restroom, microwave and refrigerator. The seat deck is cooled with four fans. This boat offers lots of seating deck space to move around. This is a comfortable boat that will allow you to get out of the elements, while still feeling connected to the activities on its large fishing deck.

Where did the name Red Eye come from?

The fishing addiction is an expensive and time consuming endeavor.  It is the lack of funds and time that lead to the name Red Eye.  In the late 80's I was still working my way through college.  I was trailering a 23' boat to the coast to fish.  I could only fish on the weekends and barely had gas money for the truck and boat.  The solution was for us to wait till around midnight on Friday and then make the Red Eye run to the coast.  This way we got to the coast and would have the boat in the water at daylight.  We would fish all day on Saturday. We then only had to get a hotel room for one night.  We would be back out Sunday morning for another day of fishing.  Late Sunday evenings we would load up and drive back home.  Everyone involved would have a good case of Red Eye on Monday morning.  Over the years we have changed boats but kept the name.
