Poppa Wahoo Too: the sister ship in wahoo stripes.

You cannot miss her at the dock: a 53 foot Hatteras wearing the blue-and-silver stripes of the fish the family is named for. Same offshore program as the flagship, double the fleet's reach.

The Too exists because the calendar demanded it. When the winter edge bite or a tournament week fills the flagship, the sister ship runs the same water with the same program: trolling and live-baiting the reef edge and the humps for mahi, tuna, wahoo, and sailfish, with 6 guests fishing in sportfisher comfort.

She shares the family standard: seasoned captain and mate, quality tackle, licenses covered, and your catch cleaned at the dock. Two big Hatteras hulls also means the collective can put two groups on the same bite at once, which has settled more than one family argument about who gets which morning.

What she runs

Deep sea trips from $1,475 and the 3 hour evening shark trip at $1,000. When both boats fish the same day, ask about running them together: same water, friendly competition, one dock party afterward.

Quick answers

Is the Too different from the flagship?

Two feet shorter and every bit as fishy. Same guest count, same offshore program, same crew standard. If the flagship is booked, this is not a consolation prize.

Can two groups book both Hatteras boats together?

Yes, and groups of 7 to 12 do exactly that. Same departure, same grounds, radio trash talk included.

Why the wahoo wrap?

The family is named for the fish. When Poppa's sons added a second big boat, she got the namesake's colors down her hull.
