Take the meeting offshore.
Client entertainment, executive retreats, and employee rewards with Captain Troy Wetzel — over 25 years running charters out of Venice, the tuna capital of the Gulf, a short drive from New Orleans. We handle the boat, gear, and bait. Your group just shows up and fishes.
Five ways companies use the boat
Every trip is private to your group and built around your goal — closing a client, rewarding a team, or getting leadership out of the conference room.
Client Entertainment
Six hours on the water builds more trust than six months of lunches. Host your best clients and prospects for a day of yellowfin, redfish, and real conversation.
Best for: sales teams, account managers, business developmentExecutive Retreats
Get leadership off-site and offshore. Pair a morning trip with an afternoon planning session at the lodge — we'll coordinate meals, meeting space, and lodging.
Best for: leadership teams, board outings, partner meetingsEmployee Appreciation
Reward the crew that hit the deadline, the safety milestone, or the sales number. A charter is the bonus your people talk about all year — and post about for weeks.
Best for: HR, plant managers, project close-outsTeam Building
Nothing bonds a team like landing a 100-pound tuna together. Everyone works, everyone fights fish, everyone eats what they catch. No trust falls required.
Best for: departments, new-team kickoffs, crews of 4–30Incentive Trips
Make the charter the prize. Set the target — top producer, top branch, top crew — and we'll deliver a trip worth competing for, with photos and fish to take home.
Best for: sales contests, dealer incentives, quota clubsMulti-Boat Events
Bigger group? We run multiple boats side by side so your whole office fishes the same day — with an optional dockside cookout and awards when the fleet comes in.
Best for: company outings, conferences, DMC partners
