so, for those of you that know the keating family, mike and annemarie were the owners of the spirit of adventure.  i started fishing on the old SOA about 25 years ago, i have been a yearly customer since and will always continue.  a couple of years ago, mike and annemarie sold the SOA to evan and adrea kraft.  but mike had another boat.  well, actually it's a huge sportfisher.  and, um, well, now it's a 6-pack.  he is going to run trips out of h&m landing in san diego, but you book directly through annemarie.  i'm looking at dates in september and november.  there is nothing set as of yet.  the price for 6 guys on a 2.5 day trip with 2 days of fishing is estimated to be $10,900.  that translates to $908 per person per day, with tip and fish processing not included. 

these trips would not be cheap.  to give you an idea of the difference, our trips on the the SOA with 24 guys on an 8 day is $380 per day.  and there is nothing wrong with flying coach.  but mike's new boat will be totally first class.  if this is something that you would be interested in, then drop me a line.  nothing is set just yet.  thanks!!!!  alan

While the salon looks a little better than the standard long range boat it doesn't look $900/day. I note that they don't show pictures of the staterooms which still have 2 people per room. I was expecting luxury like on a 72' Viking!

Wow! A fishing motor-yacht. Seems to have alota room outside. I like the pilot house, nice and simple looking. Come-on Mark, it's fishing, not luxury cruising. And only 3 days at that.
The price of fuel is going up, up, up.
Fishing tackle is an art form and all fish caught on the right tackle are"Gfish"!

Pretty darn cool :o, but way beyond my means, especially considering the current conditions. I envy those that have those types resources. 
Love those open face spinning reels! (Especially ABU & ABU/Zebco Cardinals)
