About
Riptide is a 32′ Topaz Express, and the three-quarter day gives you the extra hours that often make the difference offshore. Six hours opens up both the South Drop and the North Drop, so the captain has more water to work and more time to find the fish. The enclosed cabin offers welcome shade and shelter on a longer day out, and everything — bait, tackle, ice — is handled aboard. The catch is cleaned and bagged at the dock. It's the sweet spot for anglers who want serious time on the fish without a full eight-hour commitment.
