The Fleet
Imperial Sportfishing boasts a 24 foot Avenger, which is a custom, center console bay boat with tower. This style of boat was designed with fishing in mind. Small enough to navigate the shallow waters of the flats, but large enough to make a choppy day comfortable. With a spacious layout, the boat can safely and comfortably host up to 6 guest and the tower provides shade and an optimal view over the water.
