The Fighting Chicken is a 2004, 32’ Twin Vee Catamaran. She is a pilothouse design with a custom made shade canopy. There is ample seating with backrests for comfort and safety. On long trips we bring plenty of large beanbags. This is the perfect Gulf of Mexico charter boat. She is powered by twin 225hp Honda outboards. She is equipped with Furuno and Garmin electronics and has 4 electric reel stations. The Fighting Chicken has a forward and stern livewell so you don't have to go to far to get your bait. From snapper to swordfish this boat can handle it. We carry up to 6 passengers aboard the Fighting Chicken.

Recently we upgraded our navigation system to Windplot with an onboard computer. This allows us instant access to 240 nautical charts, including bathymetric information of the seafloor. This information along with our commercial grade sounder (fish finder) lets us "see" exactly what the boat is over and where the fish are. Every effort has been made to insure your trip is exciting and enjoyable. Remember it's not about the fishing, it's about the catching!
