All Aboard the Vessel: About the Boat
Captain Jayce welcomes you aboard his trusted vessel as you set off on your fishing expedition. Serving as the ultimate guide boat in Crystal River, the Young 24 is an ideal charter boat for inshore waterways as well as offshore rough seas. It’s all smooth sailing aboard the Young 24. Coming in at over 24′ in length, its design ensures a smooth ride no matter the depth of water.
The Young 24 can easily navigate fishing spots in shallow water, which allows you access to popular fish like reds and snook. However, if you’re going after gag grouper, this boat also has no trouble sailing out into deep water.
Go-Devil
Our purpose built 20ft Go-Devil is made for one thing, to simply get where others can’t. This boat is utilized in the Fall/Winter time when we get our extremely low tides as the fish will get trapped in the deeper pockets of water “holes” back in the creeks. Often times all around the deep holes there is 2-3” of water making it a challenge for any other style of boat to make it to the fish. This is where our boat is set apart as we can safely run in merely inches of water to get to the fish.
Some may describe this type of fishing as “fishing in a barrel”. All types of inshore species can be found in these deeper holes such as Redfish, Trout, Sheepshead, Black Drum and More! Come experience for yourself what this boat can do and enjoy a great Inshore Fishing Charter out of Crystal River, Florida!
While you’re aboard Captain Jayce’s boat, you can look forward to:
- Storage compartments that allow you to bring items onboard while keeping them dry
- Plenty of room to bring the whole family
- Cushioned seats which promote a comfortable ride, whether it’s through choppy waters or gentle rolling waves
- Memories and stories to tell for years to come
