Gotta Believe is a Striker flybridge boat that offers 40 feet of excellence. Originally built in 1970 and upgraded in 2007, our boat is equipped with twin 300 HP Cummins engines, allowing us to cruise at a top speed of 16 knots. With ample space for up to 6 anglers, Gotta Believe ensures a comfortable fishing experience.
Starting from 2023, Gotta Believe has transitioned into a Florida charter vessel focused on trolling and Shark fishing. This move enables us to participate in the State of Florida Red Snapper season. With federally permitted and state boats, we can cover all fishing seasons. Our vessel features 2 Garmin GPS chartplotters, a Garmin chirp, a flybridge for spotting underwater action, and other professional accessories.
All our trips include rods, reels, lures, tackle, fishing licenses, and, most importantly, fun!
