    Half day turned full day with Capitan Dustin!

    Half Day Trip (AM) on March 13, 2021 • 2 adults

    My mom and I went out with Capitan Dustin and Scott as a birthday present to me. We started off as a half a day morning trip but we were having so much fun we didn’t want the day to end! Capitan Dustin was kind enough to extend our trip to a full day and the day just kept getting better and better! We caught a bunch of mackerel and a puffer fish and we saw sooo many dolphins! I even found a giant hermit crab at this gorgeous sand bar they took us to. Both The Capitan and Scott were so funny they had us laughing the whole day. I even got to see a sea turtle and a dolphin jump straight into the air! If I could go out every weekend with these guys I definitely would. Can’t wait to go again and for scalloping season!

    Half day trip with Captain Dustin, Going Coastal

    Half Day Trip (AM) on February 24, 2019 • 3 adults

    Captain took us to a number of great spots and stopped over at a sandbar off Anclote key on the way home. Dustin went above and beyond to make everyone comfortable and cater to our very diverse, motley crew. Would go again anytime. Dad and GF had a ball, as did I. Thank you Dustin!

    Captain Dustin knew exactly where to take us. My 10 year old son caught 7 different types of fish and my 24 year old son caught a beautiful Triple Tail. I would highly recommend a trip with Captain Dustin!

    The trip overall was good. The captain is fun which is a huge plus! The fishing was a bit tough in the summer heat but we still landed some. All in all a fun trip thanks to captain Dustin! P.s. the captain will make sure your wife catches more fish than you do!

Had a half day trip, fish we're biting well although we only had a few keepers but that was ok no fault to our Captain, some just wasn't big enough and we missed some as well!!! my boys had an amazing time and so did I!!! As soon as our bait hit the water it was fish on!!!! Our Captain was very knowledgeable of the waters, the bait to use and where to fish!!! We enjoyed swimming on our trip as well!!! Saw dolphins, manatees a shark and lots of stingrays!!! We will def book another trip with him!!!! Thank you for an amazing time...I HIGHLY recommended just coastal for anyone that wants a great trip!!!! Thank you so much for being patient with my youngest son's 50,000 questions you have a lot of patience!! Ha ha...
