Other customer memories from this trip

The image shows a sizable charter fishing boat, likely around 30-35 feet in length. It appears to be a cabin cruiser style vessel with a covered wheelhouse and an open rear deck area for fishing. The boat has a white hull and light blue trim. On the deck, several fishing rods can be seen in holders along the sides. There's a sturdy railing around the perimeter for safety. At the stern, an outrigger setup is visible, used for trolling multiple lines simultaneously. The boat seems well-equipped for offshore fishing trips, with navigation equipment visible through the wheelhouse windows. A fish finder and GPS system are likely installed to aid in locating prime fishing spots. The vessel looks capable of comfortably accommodating 6-8 anglers plus crew for day trips targeting salmon, halibut, or other game fish. It's clearly designed and outfitted for serious sport fishing charters in coastal waters.
