Room to spread out. Built to spend the day outside.
A spacious center-console layout gives everyone a comfortable seat, easy water access and plenty of deck space for gear, lunch and a slow ride home.
Come out for the kind of day we’d want for ourselves: a small group, a beautiful boat, clear water and no rush. Choose spearfishing, lobster season, a private outing or a memorial at sea. Small groups, clear water, and days planned the way we’d want them ourselves.
Founding members book first when reservations open, help shape the experiences we run, and get two invitations to the launch party.
Pick the day that sounds like you. We keep the group small, plan around the weather and water, and take care of the details before you arrive.
Come for a half-day or stay out all day. We’ll match the plan to your experience, keep the group small and spend our time where the water looks best.
Once the gear is packed away, settle in. We’ll open something cold, bring out a board of French cheese, charcuterie and good bread, and take the long way back through the inlet.
Served after diving and boat operations are finished, when everyone can relax and enjoy it.
Cheese, charcuterie, baguette, fruit and sparkling water, selected for the size of your party.
Good music, a comfortable seat and an easy run back to Fort Lauderdale.
Menus depend on the trip, the weather and local alcohol rules. We never serve alcohol before or during diving or while anyone is operating the boat.
This is the boat for friends and families who want space of their own. There’s room to sit comfortably, move around and change the plan when something better catches your eye.

We start running trips soon. Join now and you’ll get first pick of member dates, a half-day guided tour, two launch-party invitations and offers we’re putting together with South Florida partners.
Planned member rates — no payment taken today. This just holds your spot.
We’ll open the member calendar before public bookings. Dates depend on weather, availability and the normal rules for each trip.
Members book first when the launch calendar opens.
Add one of our seasonal cheese and charcuterie boards to any eligible outing — we’ll price it for your group.
We’re working with local restaurants, ocean businesses and places we genuinely like.
Come aboard for the launch and bring someone with you.
You shouldn’t have to think about coolers, routes or backup plans. Tell us who’s coming and what would make the day special; we’ll handle the rest.
We’ll ask about experience, timing and the small things your group cares about. No generic package if it doesn’t fit.
Visibility, sea state and the season shape the plan. If conditions change, we’ll tell you plainly and make the right call.
Gear, provisions and the route are sorted before you arrive, so your time starts on the water—not with a checklist.
Freshwater rinse, your photos when included, and—if you chose it—a French apéritif for the ride back.
The free way to come aboard with us — the playbook downloads right here when you join the list, and your email keeps you posted on our launch.
Seasons, species, lobster rules, the gear checklist, and how to read Fort Lauderdale water — the guide I wish someone had handed me.
Choose the basics and add the one detail that matters to you. We’ll turn it into a plan when reservations open.
