If you love fishing but you don’t own your own boat, don’t know where to fish, or just don’t live close enough to the water to make it practical to fish most days of the year, don’t worry. One of the best things about the world of fishing is that there are many talented professionals who love helping others experience it. There are fishing pros out there that run charter boats just for this reason.

If you’re one of those fishing pros we’re talking about, good for you! Here are just a few reasons why BlackJack Boats are the best bay boats for fishing guides and charters.

Purposeful Design

Each detail in our boats is there for a reason. The design of our BlackJack 256 allows for maximum space for all aboard and the Carolina flare on the hull keeps you and your passengers dry. Captain D. Bourgeois from Barataria, LA said, “As a professional fishing guide, I’ve owned a number of boats, but the BlackJack 256 is my all-time favorite! The layout allows for great room, so even with four clients onboard no one is crowded.”

Storage

Because of its size and storage space, the BlackJack 256 is ideal for guides. The console has a large door in the front, making it spacious enough for a restroom and batteries. It also features fully finished tubs in all hatches and locking rod storage with protective tubes for up to 14 rods. Who said a beautiful boat couldn’t also be practical?

No Distractions

Because of the smooth, dry ride you can expect in a BlackJack, you can focus on providing the best possible experience for your customers. Captain Danny Goyen from Victoria, Texas, said, “I can’t say enough good things about guiding in my BlackJack the past 10 years. The BlackJack gets me to the big fish no matter the weather, keeping me and my customers dry. Their comfort with a smooth ride keeps me focused on what I’m here for: Leading them to the big one.” After all, that’s really the point, isn’t it? Happy customers and finding the big fish.

From the ability to manage shallow waters to keeping you and your clients happy and dry, other boats just don’t compare to BlackJack Boats.
