Fish Aboard the Red Eye II

The Red Eye II is our primary offshore fishing vessel and is built for both comfort and performance. This 39-foot Topaz offers a smooth ride, plenty of fishing space, and the amenities needed for a full day on the water.


With air conditioning in the cabin and seating deck, along with multiple fans, you can stay cool and comfortable even during peak summer heat. This makes it a great option for families, beginners, and experienced anglers alike.
