The fleet · Built around the fishing

The right platform for your day.

An offshore run, a morning along the coast and a quiet approach through the marsh call for different boats. DTB runs offshore center consoles, an inshore bay boat and shallow-water fly skiffs. Start with the experience you want, then confirm the boat that fits your trip and your group.

MEET THE BOATS

Explore the boats behind the trips.

Every offshore boat takes up to six passengers. They are fishing boats first, built for speed, open-water performance and room to fight fish rather than cruising comfort. Each card lists the trips that boat runs.

Offshore room to work

The offshore fleet runs American Aluminum, Freeman and FinCat boats with open decks, room to move around a hooked fish and the range to reach the rigs and the deep Gulf. Tell the crew what you’re after and how far you want to run, and they’ll match the boat.

Along the beaches and bays

The 24-foot Purebay Blue Wave works the marsh, interior bays, beaches and barrier islands around Grand Isle and Fourchon for speckled trout and redfish. Your guide picks the route around the tide, the wind and where the fish are biting.

A closer approach in the marsh

Fly trips run on shallow-draft skiffs, including Captain Owen’s 17-foot Maverick HPX-V and Captain Ivan’s Ranger Phantom 168. Your guide poles you quietly across the flats to spot redfish and set up the cast. Skiffs take up to two anglers.

Choose by fit, then confirm the details

Not every boat runs every trip. Tell the crew your fishing goal and group size, and they’ll confirm the boat and captain for your date.

  • Tell the team your fishing goal and group size.
  • Mention any mobility or boarding needs.
  • Confirm the boat, captain, passenger allowance and trip length.
  • Match your lodging and travel plans to the confirmed schedule.
