June 1 & 2, 2025

The New Buccaneer ran the normal 12 hour trip while the Cavalier ran the half-capacity 12 hour trip. The half capacity trip is slightly more expensive but the number of customers is limited.

The Cavalier landed a boat limit of 84 red snapper as well as 6 vermillion snapper, 10 blue runner, a barracuda and 2 almaco jack.
