Deer Meat For Dinner — catch, clean, cook off the Florida coast
Runs a 25 Open · “Lali 1”Ponce Inlet · Atlantic coast

Rob and Sarah Arrington built Deer Meat For Dinner on a simple idea: harvest your own food and share the whole story, from the water to the table. Millions of people follow along.

Their nearshore boat is an East Cape 25 Open they named the Lali 1. It runs the beach out of Ponce Inlet, chases cobia, and carries the family on the days when the plan is to catch dinner and cook it that night.

If you are looking at a 25 Open as a do-everything nearshore boat, this is what that life actually looks like.

You can fish the Lali 1. When Rob isn’t filming, Capt. Liam Garvey runs charters on the boat out of Ponce Inlet — see him in the Guide Network.
