Pelican Charters Goes Overboard with KICKER Marine Audio

When Katie and Captain John Duplass selected boats for their new fishing charter business, they addressed the sound system of their 41’ Onslow Bay Boatworks center console. They selected the boat because of its offshore prowess, outstanding customer service, and durability, and they expected the same from its sound system. They conducted extensive research and having enjoyed KICKER speakers in their truck for years; it was natural to turn to KICKER Marine Audio for audio solutions.

“We are turning heads!” says Katie. “We are making a big statement as our sound is now crisp and… clear and we are proud to be KICKER’s ambassadors in the Gulf.”

Pelican Charters also purchased a locally-built 25’ Gravois aluminum boat for flats fishing and while it has less room for speakers, it still cranks up the sound and allows charter guests to enjoy great tunes while looking for that big catch.

The Duplass family purchased The Venice Lodge in Venice, Louisiana to accommodate their charter customers in a comfortable and quaint 5-bedroom, 3-bath house. It offers plenty of room to relax, cook your catch of the day, and then rest up for another big day fishing along the coast for everything from snapper and red fish to blue marlin.

To kick up the Lodge's sound, the Duplass family opted for a KICKER Bullfrog portable speaker that allow guests to enjoy music outdoors on a starry night.
