Class Act is a family-owned two-boat operation out of slip B-4 at Zeke’s Marina, run by Capts. Dale Woodruff and Bryan Hopkins. Having two very different hulls is the quiet advantage: whatever size your group or ambition, one of them fits.
The boats
The Class Act is the big one — 52 feet, with a base price covering up to 10 passengers (12 on 12-hour trips) and room for up to 20, with a fully air-conditioned cabin, satellite TV, and a Green Egg grill on deck, which is not standard charter equipment and we respect it. Daddy’s Baby is the 38-foot six-pack for smaller private groups.
The trips
The range is wide: 4, 5, 6, 8, 10 and 12 hours (no 8-hour trips June 1–July 10), plus 18-hour and two-day runs. Short trips work snapper, triggerfish, and Spanish mackerel; the long ones get into grouper, scamp, amberjack, wahoo, and tuna water. All gear and licenses are provided.
Good to know
Fish cleaning is complimentary on trips under six hours (thirty cents a pound after that — they’re upfront about it, which we appreciate). Between the two boats and the trip menu, this is a good first call when your group is an awkward size for a standard six-pack.
