My boat can hold up to 12 people maximum. I offer the largest, newest, most spacious boat in central Texas. Gone are the days of having to split up a group into multiple boats allowing everyone to fish with each other. If a even larger group is needed then more boats can be arranged. And yes we can take children! I enjoy introducing and teaching kids to the sport of fishing.
