The Cowgirl is a 45-foot Hatteras sportfishing yacht and our flagship vessel. With a sky lounge flybridge, fully air-conditioned cabin, and a 130-pound tournament fighting chair, this boat was designed for anglers who want serious offshore capability wrapped in all-day comfort. Private charters for up to six guests start at $1,050.

Not every boat earns flagship status. The Cowgirl did it by combining raw offshore performance with the comfort features that keep your group fishing longer and enjoying every minute. The 45-foot Hatteras hull handles rough seas with authority. The wide beam creates a stable fishing platform. And the deep-V bow cuts through swells that would have smaller boats turning back. When conditions are marginal, the Cowgirl keeps fishing.

The elevated flybridge is one of the Cowgirl's signature features. Ride up top on the way to the fishing grounds and watch the Key West marine world unfold below you. Dolphins ride the wake. Sea turtles surface between swells. Flying fish skip across the water. Frigatebirds and terns dive on bait schools, signaling where predators are feeding. Your captain spots fish from this elevated vantage point, giving the Cowgirl an edge over boats with lower helm stations.

The fully air-conditioned cabin turns a hot day into a comfortable one. Step inside between bites, cool off, grab a drink, and watch the action through panoramic windows. The salon has cushioned seating where guests can relax during the run offshore or take a break during slower stretches. A private restroom keeps everyone comfortable on trips of any length. Families with children rank the A/C cabin as the single most important feature on the boat.

When a marlin, large tuna, or bull shark takes the bait, you strap into the 130-pound fighting chair. This is the same equipment competitive anglers use in regional and national tournaments. The chair swivels smoothly as the fish changes direction, keeping your body aligned with the rod and maintaining pressure on the line. The harness distributes the load across your back and legs so you can fight big fish for 30, 45, even 60 minutes without burning out. Our crew coaches you through every stage of the fight.

Offshore trips target mahi-mahi, blackfin tuna, wahoo, sailfish, and marlin. The crew deploys a spread of live baits and lures — flat lines, outrigger lines, and shotgun positions that cover the water column. During winter months, kite fishing puts live goggle-eyes on the surface where sailfish strike aggressively. Reef and wreck drops produce yellowtail snapper, mutton snapper, grouper, and amberjack. Shark fishing on the Cowgirl targets blacktip, bull, and hammerhead sharks using heavy tackle and fresh cut bait.

The Cowgirl reaches her full potential on 8-, 10-, and 12-hour charters. Longer trips give your captain time to run 20 to 30 miles offshore where deep-water structure, temperature breaks, and current edges concentrate gamefish. The cabin, restroom, and salon make these extended runs comfortable rather than exhausting. If your goal is a blue marlin, a sailfish release, or a full cooler of reef fish, the extra time and comfort pay off.
