    What We Worked On in September 2026

    No fishing report this month — Gulfstream was out of service at the dock.

    Two New Engines

    The biggest investment was replacing both engines — a major undertaking and an important commitment to the boat's future.

    Redesigned Interior Cabin

    We redesigned the interior cabin, giving our guests' gathering spaces a fresh look.

    New Outdoor Bench Seating

    The outdoor bench seating was redesigned along with the cabin, from the engine room out onto the deck.

    September is typically a quieter month in Key West, so we took Gulfstream out of service for scheduled maintenance and a substantial refresh. No fishing report this month — the work was happening at the dock.

    For a fishing business with roots in Key West dating back to 1947, keeping the tradition going means continuing to invest in the vessel that carries it. September gave us the time to focus on exactly that, from the engine room to the cabin and out onto the deck.

    Same Gulfstream character, with a little more polish — and a lot happening below deck.
