The ultimate Destin fishing machine… the Skeeter SX2550…
These days, a professional fishing boat is only as good as the accessories and equipment attached to it. Captain Alex doesn’t settle for anything but the best!
The Intentional Fishing Skeeter SX2550 is powered by the ultra-reliable Yamaha 300 HP Four Stroke outboard motor. This much power, makes her capable of 53 MPH! With a 76-gallon fuel tank, distance or range will never be a limitation on your charters with Captain Alex.
Astern, you’ll find TWIN Power Pole Blade 10-Foot shallow water anchors. These allow for precise and silent positioning of the vessel when inshore fishing. On the bow is the real brains of the operation… a 36v, 112lb thrust Minn Kota Terrova iPilot Trolling Motor. This one piece of equipment allows for a stealthy approach to a remote grass flat, and also accurate “Spot Lock” over an offshore reef or structure. Fishing has never been so efficient! And as icing on the cake, at the helm Captain Alex relies on a Simrad 12” Evo 3 for superior navigation accuracy and vivid sonar readings.
All of these “Bells and Whistles” allow for an efficient, luxurious, and productive fishing experience!
Sketer Boats have one of the best reputations amongst guides and tournament angles across the nation. Known as the smoothest and driest riding bay boats and bass boats on the market, Skeeter continues to out-perform and out-fish all of the competition with no contest. As a Yamaha Marine owned company, Skeeter builds their boats to exceptional standards, lacking nothing for the anglers.
Captain Alex spent 5 years in the marine sales industry prior to full time guiding and has had the opportunity to test ride, scrutinize, analyze, and review every other boat brand and model in this category. He could have purchased ANY boat, but chose this Skeeter for three reasons… It rides like a tank while keeping you dry and safe… it is stable and versatile like no other… and it is built to last in a harsh saltwater environment. Whether running offshore in choppy conditions chasing grouper, snapper, and mackerel, or creeping up on a school of redfish with stealth and tact… this boat does it all. The SX2550 is also unlike any other Skeeter as a “hybrid bay boat.” This means it offers sharper deadrise, (smoother ride) more freeboard, (higher sides for safety) and it is more offshore capable without sacrificing inshore functionalities.
