Lobster Bully Charters

Lobster Bully Net Charters offers unique nighttime lobster netting excursions in the Florida Keys. Their custom-designed 17-foot Boston Whaler, powered by a 90 HP Suzuki engine, is engineered for speed and stealth, allowing Captain Ben to quickly maneuver the vessel to optimal lobster-spotting locations at speeds up to 40 mph. The boat's stable platform is ideal for their no-dive "bully netting" technique, ensuring customers stay dry while they learn to catch lobster. All necessary equipment, including specialized nets, lights, and fishing licenses, is provided, eliminating the need for customers to bring their own gear. Trips are 4 hours long and accommodate up to 4 people, departing at 8 PM and 12:30 AM. They also offer amenities like bean-bag chairs, music, and a cooler with cold drinks for a comfortable experience. After the catch, they clean and prepare the lobsters, with a limit of 6 per person.
