    New Yamaha 19' Jet Boat - Fish/Sight-See/Dolphin Watch - Water/Snacks/Ice Included!

    This was our second rental of this boat with Adrian and, just like last time, it was simple, in time, and included Everything we needed. This time we asked for a cooler full of ice and fishing gear. We used the live well for shrimp, the trolling motor in the shallows, and caught some good sized red drum, among other things. Today was a great day on the water.

It’s one of the sunniest places in the world, with a record of the most consecutive days of sunshine (768) recorded from 1967-1969. While noted for hosting a large population of retirees, it’s becoming a more youthful city due to its relatively low cost of living, growing art scene, and favorable climate.
