About
Riptide is a 32′ Topaz Express built for a serious day offshore. A full eight hours puts both the North and South Drops in play, where the captain works the deep water for pelagics like marlin, tuna, mahi, and wahoo. The enclosed cabin is the difference-maker on a long day — real shade and shelter when the sun and the run start to wear — and bait, tackle, and ice are all handled aboard. The catch is cleaned and bagged so you walk off with your haul. For anglers who want a full offshore day with a bit more comfort than an open boat, it delivers.
