Anglers Dream - Deep Sea Fishing

About Us

The Anglers Dream

The boat was built in 1995 in North Carolina specifically as a deep sea fishing head (or party) boat. Fully laden the boat weighs roughly 48,000 lbs (24 Tons). It is equipped with twin Cummins 450 hp QSM electronic engines and matching transmissions, all fitted brand new in October 2003. It is driven through the water by twin 30 inch propellers and cruises at circa 15 knots (17 mph). The top speed recorded, so

far, has been 25 knots – roughly 27 mph. Almost every piece of equipment effecting our ability to find and position ourselves over fish was also replaced in a recent overhaul, including modern top of the range fish-finding electronics and anchor winch (critical for boat positioning).

Safety

Safety is paramount aboard all head boats and the US Coast Guard does a tremendous job in carefully monitoring this element. The Anglers Dream is such a safe and highly

equipped vessel that it is Coast Guard approved to a limit of 100 miles off shore. This is an unusual license in these waters where most fishing boats are limited to 20 miles off shore. This extra range allows us to seek out the fish regardless of time of year considerations such as water temperatures. The Anglers Dream enjoys this approval for many reasons including the stability of the vessel, it’s engines, the level of safety equipment such Short Band radio, life rafts, life vests, EPIRB satellite location equipment and much much more. The Captain is, of course, certified by the US Coast Guard and we talk more of this below.

The Captain

The Anglers Dream is an owner operated vessel. Capt. Mike Green moved to Florida from Ohio in the mid 90's. Mike's been fishing all his life and spent several years working as both mate and Captain on a local head boat before buying the Anglers Dream in 2002. Mike is certified by the US Coast Guard to Captain vessels up to 100 Tons.
