Florida Fishing Fleet Launches New Charter Boat “KINGPIN” in Cortez, Florida
Florida Fishing Fleet, a cornerstone of the historic Cortez fishing village, is proud to announce the newest addition to its growing charter fleet: KINGPIN. What began as a bold vision just a few months ago has now become a reality thanks to tireless dedication, countless hours of labor, and unwavering community support.
“Six months ago, if someone told me we’d be adding another boat, I would’ve laughed,” said Erin Dolan a member of the Florida Fishing Fleet team. “But life comes at you fast, and this opportunity became something we couldn’t pass up.”
The journey to launch KINGPIN wasn’t easy. What was expected to be a two-week project turned into four grueling months of intensive work. The team—led by the relentless effort of Lance “Crusty” Plowman—pushed through long days under the sun, late nights, and every imaginable challenge to get the vessel ready for action.
From structural refinements to detailed outfitting, KINGPIN is now fully operational and ready to take anglers on unforgettable adventures in the Gulf of Mexico. This boat is more than just a new addition—it’s a testament to grit, teamwork, and the spirit of Cortez.
“We always say it takes a village, and that’s never been truer than during this process,” the team shared. “Friends, family, our loyal crew—everyone pitched in. We couldn’t have done it without them.”
Florida Fishing Fleet offers a range of charter options for both seasoned anglers and first-timers, with a reputation for friendly service and top-tier fishing experiences. The launch of KINGPIN reflects the company’s continued growth and commitment to delivering high-quality excursions out of one of Florida’s most iconic fishing communities.
