The Diamond Jig Fleet

Diamond Jig Charters utilizes two versatile vessels to ensure the best possible experience depending on the group size and target species. For shallow-water fishing and intimate groups of up to three, the 20-foot Carolina Skiff provides a stable and efficient platform. Powered by a 90-horsepower Suzuki engine, it offers a nimble ride to Avalon’s prime spots. For larger groups of up to four, the 25-foot Dusky delivers increased power and space, equipped with a 300-horsepower Suzuki engine that cruises at 28 knots. Both boats are outfitted with modern navigation technology, high-quality gear, and all necessary safety equipment to ensure a professional and comfortable environment for every guest.
