Charter Boat Distraction
Families Love The Nostalgia that the Distraction Charter Boat offers!
We would like to introduce you to the 41′ charter boat and “Battle Wagon” named Distraction. She is a 62 Hatteras and is in immaculate shape. She was completely re-built in 2002. We replaced the heads, turbo, exhaust manifold and fuel governors in 2017. In 2019, we replaced our generator with a new Northern Lights 9 KW. In 2023, we pulled and replaced our original fiberglass fuel tanks with two new, 200 gallon marine grade aluminum tanks. In 2024, we completely restored our v-berth or the front room and now as 4 sleeping bunks. In 2025, we invested over $100k and purchased two new 350 hp caterpillar engines and two ZF transmissions. By constantly reinvesting in our charter boat, ensures your trip goes off without a hitch. She is made out of thick fiberglass and is very safe. Her interior is clean and odor free.
Why It’s Important To Choose A Charter Boat That Is Well Maintained
When you see our charter boat, you can tell that we care about her. She is not fancy, but she is very modern. Choosing a charter boat that is well maintained, fully operational and safe is the most important goal of any parent who is contemplating taking their family deep sea fishing. We go the extra mile each year to make sure our charter boat is ready to go, so we won’t have any down time or equipment failures before, during or after your trip.
Even though we spend close to $33,000 a year on maintenance, we still have a few unforeseen battery failures, an occasional electrical issue and sometimes a minor mechanical issues. In 2023, we reinvested over $64,000 by replacing fuel tanks and adding all new Furuno electronics including fish finders and radars. The good thing is, we have two engines and back up systems on board to ensure we have an uneventful fishing trip.

The inside of our charter boat offers all the comfort of home with a climate controlled cabin. She has a clean odor-free, private restroom for those who expect the best. She has a kitchen sink and a microwave on board. Our refrigerator is compact so we encourage you to always bring your own cooler full of your favorite beverages and food. If you don’t have a cooler, that’s not a problem. We always have a big cooler on the back deck.
Our restroom is clean and odor free. Our toilet (head) is a full size model and is fresh water filled. You may also flush our paper with this marine elegance head.
Our VBerth was completely renovated in 2024. We build a new deck/floor and fabricated 4 bunk beds and cushions.

The Outside Sitting and Fishing Area
Everyone loves our comfortable sitting and fishing area on the rear deck. There is plenty of room to fish, relax and enjoy some breathtaking sights.
The outside sitting area is large and comfortable. We designed it for families that want to be comfortable while riding and fishing. We have two comfortable seats, drink holders and rod holders so you don’t have to worry where to sit your pole when we move to the next fishing reef.
