Southern Cross
300 Suzuki
Our boat is a 25-foot Southern Cross made by Carolina Yachts and is powered by a 300 Suzuki that allows us a cruising speed of around 25 to 30 knots while sitting in our Lebroc helm Captain’s chairs. This boat has a ten-foot beam which makes it a very stable, fishable boat. She also has a modified V to be able to cut through the Bay chop and a Porta bracket to maintain a shallow draft to fish the skinny waters of the Lynnhaven and Rudee inlets.
The boat has a full cobia tower with full controls, that allow us to sight-cast cobia and red drum in the Chesapeake Bay. There is a ton of storage to keep your personal items off the deck and dry. There is an in-deck and transom fish box to keep the fish cold and fresh. The Minn Kota 112-volt trolling motor with spot lock allows us to fish the pilings and wrecks around the Chesapeake Bay Bridge-Tunnel. We have the most updated Garmin electronics with a transducer with side-vu to help spotfish around the boat. On the cold fall and winter days, there are three-piece curtains that help provide shelter from the elements.
The boat has the most up-to-date Coast Guard approved safety equipment to include a VHF radio, EPRIB, USCG life raft, and USCG life jackets. Other amenities we have are ample seating in the bow and stern of the boat, coolers for food and drinks, rod storage, and a spacious fishing deck.
