This is where you come in.  Catatonic is at your service.  We will be happy to suggest destinations and itineraries based on our experiences here in Florida, but they are only suggestions.  This is your vacation/cruise.  Catatonic is yours.  We want you to do what YOU want to do.  Take the suggestions below and build your own itinerary.  Or make this a Lazy Days vacation with no itinerary at all.

Cruisin' n Fishin'

If you enjoy eating the freshest fish possible, this cruise is for you.  Go "active fishing" with a rod and reel, casting along the mangroves for that elusive shook or snapper.  Or "passive fishing" where you relax and read a book while your fishing line trails behind the boat.  This is often called the "send out the invitation and see who comes to dinner" style of fishing.  Capm Woody's favorite method.   NOTE: If you prefer the active fishing style you will need to bring along your own expertise, as Capm Woody is only proficient in the passive method.

For the Naturalist
kayaking/canoeing

This itinerary is designed for those of you who are not afraid to get up close to the natural world.  Select from several kayak and canoe trails from Tampa Bay to the Keys.  Use Catatonic as your mother ship for your personal explorations via kayak or canoe.

The Hemingway

Relax in the tropical breezes with your favorite Hemingway novel. Visit Hemingway's home and watering holes in the Keys.  Meet the descendents of his famous herd of cats, and do as "Papa" did.  Go fishing, drinking, womanizing, urinating in public.....well, maybe you shouldn't do everything he did.

The "Mini Loop"

Ideal cruise and training session for those of you planning on doing "The Great Loop" , up the American heartland, through the great lakes and back down the Atlantic seaboard to Florida. Gain invaluable experience navigating the locks of the Okeechobee waterway, the open waters of the Atlantic Ocean, the island hopping along the Florida Keys and the isolation of the Everglades. You pretty much experience it all on this cruise. It's a good way to get your feet wet if you're planning on living the cruising life.   NOTE: To cram all this into one week requires a dedicated crew, so feel free to do only the parts of this trip that interest YOU.

The Gasparilla

Get to know Florida's historic gulf coast aboard Catatonic, tracing the footsteps of the infamous pirate Jose Gaspar. (minus the pillaging and plundering)  This charter is for history buffs, or for those of you wanting to consume considerable quantities of Caribbean rum. Bring your own wench.

The Gasparilla Deluxe

All of the above but timed to coincide with the Jose Gaspar pirate invasion of Tampa in February.  This annual event you join the flotilla into Tampa, escorting the replica of Jose Gaspar's pirate ship.  Then disembark onto the streets of Tampa and watch the parade, collect the beads and enjoy this, second only to Mardi Gras, street party that makes such an event so difficult to remember the day after.

Think you'd like to permanently live aboard a boat or at least spend long periods of time living aboard?  This is a good way to experience the joys and tribulations of such a life.  Discuss what it's like with EndeavourCat owners who are doing it right now.  Stay aboard for as long as you like.  Long term rates are available.  Just ask.

So go wherever you like, whenever you like.  You set the pace and agenda.  Explore Florida's historic coastline and the Keys, including the beautiful inland passage through Lake Okeechobee.  Let Capm Woody be your guide.  And don't forget to bring along your favorite music and movies.
