Gulf Coast Variside 2300

Our guided trips are run from a Gulf Coast Variside 2300. This boat combines the best of both worlds, it will run very shallow due to the tunnel hull design and will also allow us to cut through bay chop with the v-hull portion. It provides plenty of space for up to 4 customers and a guide. We provide all the coast guard required safety equipment on board at all times.
