About Your Boat

Make yourself at home on “SaltLick” a 27 foot Sea Hunt Gamefish. The Sea Hunt Center Console is powered by twin Yamaha engines that are always kept in good working condition. Safety is priority 1 onboard Saltlick and we pride ourselves on maintaining a more than required attitude towards safety. In addition to the required Coast Guard safety equipment we employ the use of an EPiRB (Emergency Position Indicating Radio Beacon) and Marine radio. On long offshore trips we may inlclude an emergecy life raft. Saltlick is a fishing machine that can easily be made comfortable for cruising. The Carolina Flare hull cuts through rough water. It is an open deck center console which means exposure to the elements. Saltlick is equipped with a Head, Built in Cooler and 2 built in live wells.
