Fish in Comfort: Our 24ft Skeeter Bay Boat
We take pride in running one of the largest and safest guide boats in the Brainerd Lakes Area. Our 24ft Skeeter Bay is specifically designed for “big water” lakes like Mille Lacs, Gull, and Pelican. Our 24ft Skeeter Bay features a deep-V hull designed for the big waves of Mille Lacs and Pelican Lake, providing the driest and safest ride in the Brainerd Lakes region.
Large Group Capacity: Rated for up to 6 guests, allowing your whole family or corporate group to stay together in one boat.
Stability & Safety: The 24ft hull cuts through heavy waves, ensuring a dry, stable ride even when the wind picks up.
Top-Tier Electronics: Equipped with the latest side-imaging and sonar technology to find fish in any conditions.
Spacious Deck: Plenty of room for multiple anglers to cast simultaneously without tangling lines.
