New for the 2008 season. New Caterpillar Marine twin diesel C-13 pre production engines that will allow cruise speeds over 30 knts with a top end close to 40 knts. This will make us one of the fastest big charter boats on the East Coast. This speed offers our customer up to 2-3 hours more fishing time than many charter boats with one of the shortest rides to the local canyon of less than two hours in decent sea conditions.

FLIR Thermal Imaging Camera for night vision and reduced visibility. This will aid us in navigation and collision avoidance while operating in total darkness. It will now be much easier to see floating debris, channel markers, weed line and other boats in total darkness. This is high tech safety equipment that you will not find on other charter boats but we feel the added safety is worth the high cost.

The HOOKED UP II offers some of the finest amenities and safety equipment of any charter boat on the East Coast including

• Deluxe Sofa and couch from Flex Steel
• Multi zone AC & Heat
• 40 inch flat screen digital HDTV with 140 channels in salon plus DVD
• Sirius Satellite radio with Sony Surround Sound
• Microwave cooking facilities plus extra large upright refrigerator in salon.
• 5 over size bunks with deluxe mattresses for your comfort
• Eskimo Ice maker for fresh ice 24 hours a day for your catch.
• Member of Raymarine sponsored Captain’s Program and the HOOKED UP II has all state of the art marine electronics on board
• US Coast Guard approved survival suits for our customers that very few charter boats have on board
• New Viking 8 person US Coast Guard approved offshore life raft
• Winslow 8 person offshore life raft.
• We exceed all Coast Guard required safety items for offshore chartering fishing
• Custom Carolina style Deep Vee hull (68 degrees at the bow) that offers one the very best rides in rough conditions of any charter boat you will ever fish on with very little roll while at anchor or drift.
• Super large insulated fish boxes to keep your catch ice cold and as fresh as when it was caught
