Chaser is a flats skiff built for slipping through the backcountry, salt
flats, and mangrove islands.
Explaining the mothership concept, Capt. Mike says:
I've got the greatest job in the world! A really fabulous experience is a 3 or 4 day trip to the out islands aboard Tango. You can jump a Tarpon on a fly at sunrise from Chaser, our flats skiff. Later on, take a midday break aboard the big boat. Then you can scare some Permit half to death and land another Tarpon as the sun sets -- while the 'galley slaves' are grilling filet mignon and barbecuing shrimp. I told you -- I have the greatest job in the world! And everybody goes home happy, because we release all fish.
It's a tough job, Captain Mike, but I guess somebody has to do it! 
And Capt. Mike does that job well! Look at this gorgeous Permit!
