Introducing the Baitrunner

Experience the thrill of offshore fishing aboard the Baitrunner, a fast and comfortable 32ft Cougar Cat powered by twin 250hp Suzuki 4-stroke outboards. These engines are not only quiet but also produce no fumes, ensuring a pleasant journey. With a top speed of 38 knots when fully loaded and an economical cruising speed of 25 knots, we will swiftly transport you to the prime fishing grounds.

For your comfort, the Baitrunner features a full bimini roof to shield you from the sun on hot days and includes toilet facilities on board. Equipped with the latest electrical gear, we’re well-prepared to help you find that big catch while maintaining safe communication with the shore. Before we set off, our crew will provide a safety briefing in accordance with maritime regulations.

Your safety is our top priority, and we take all necessary precautions when crossing coastal bars. Our goal is for you to have an enjoyable experience and return fully satisfied.

Please note that smoking is permitted in designated areas, and ashtrays are provided to protect marine wildlife. You are welcome to bring your own alcohol, but we do not supply it.

The Baitrunner accommodates a maximum of 9 passengers, along with 2 crew members, ensuring a personal and attentive experience.
