The Boat and Captain

The "Pretty Work" is a 46' Whiticar custom built in Stuart, Florida in 1974. Powered by twin Cummings 480's, she is fast and smooth as she glides through the water. These well made boats are highly respected by all of Florida's offshore fishing community and are greatly appreciated on those days when the ocean starts to show her rough side.

Inside, the salon has just been completely redone to include air conditioning - a feature you will quickly appreciate on those hot summer days in the Florida Keys fishing for Dolphin - a galley to facilitate lunch and snacks and an entertainment center to make your fishing charter as comfortable and complete as possible.

Her large, comfortable cockpit, a trait of the Whiticar Sportfishing yacht, has three fighting chairs with plenty of room to move around when the outriggers start popping or there is a school of Dolphin behind the boat and the action gets hot and heavy.

This is a distinct advantage when fishing in Sailfish tournaments where it is not uncommon for three or four outriggers to pop at the same time when you find a pod of Sailfish cruising the rip. And as you know, the only ones that count are the ones released at the back of the boat not the ones lost at hookup. This could easily be the difference between first place or no place at all.

Whether fishing a tournament or just enjoying a good days' charter on the waters around Islamorada, the cockpits' extra room provides added comfort for our charter guests.

The Dirty Work Our new 29' Mako affords us new and exciting possibilities in our efforts to provide a quality fishing experience at a more affordable rate.

This boat enables us to provide light tackle Gulf Side (Florida Bay) charters as well as a more economical means for offshore fishing.

The boat has just been re powered with new Yamaha 300s allowing for a top speep of over 60 MPH.The advantage here is when a report of fish is given, you can be where the fish are fast.

There's plenty of walk around space for fighting fish and simple comfort. Speaking of comfort, the crown pleaser is the PRIVATE ONBOARD HEAD (bathroom).

Captain John Oughton is fishing with 27 years of experience behind him. He has fished the East Coast extensively, including New Jersey, Maryland, North Carolina and the Florida Keys. Captain John has also fished abroad in Hawaii, Costa Rica, Mexico and the Virgin Islands. He is a proven tournament winner and is always looking to apply his knowledge to catch you fish.

Captain John Oughton invites you to spend a day (or two) aboard the "Pretty Work" fishing the beautiful waters off Islamorada and the surrounding Florida Keys.
