We had an absolutely amazing experience on our 6-hour fishing charter with Captain James and first mate Lee! 🎣 The crew was fantastic from start to finish and did an incredible job, especially with our 12-year-old. We ended up catching 51 fish total — 49 Spanish mackerel, 1 albacore, and 1 bluefish! What an incredible day on the water. The crew was knowledgeable, friendly, patient, and made the entire trip so much fun. To top it all off, we even got to watch dolphins at sunset on the way home — the perfect ending to an already amazing day. We truly can’t recommend this fishing charter enough. If you’re looking for a fun, memorable day on the water with an awesome crew, book with Captain James and Lee! We’ll definitely be back! 🎣🐬🌅
Good times! Glad you were able to share the day with us. See ya again later.
if you had ever been on a charter that just said sit back and wait to reel in fish....then you need to book this and see what a real charter should be. the captain asked what we wanted to get from the trip and then set a plan to get us on fish all day. first mate was right there to help and show you how to set and run lines and was fun to talk too while you wait. if you wanna feel like the trip is made for you and what you want then book this boat!!! ill be back next year and think we might head out deep for the next one
Im glad you enjoyed your time with us today. Looking forward to our next adventure.
Captain James is a great guy. He built a trip based on what we asked for and put us on fish right away. We hit limits on 3 different species. Weather was getting dicey and he got us home safe. First mate was also super friendly and worked hard to keep us catching fish. Great experience all around, we’ll be back!
Thanks so much.
Captain James and DJ were great. Got us on a good amount of spanish mackerel. Per our request, they took us wreck fishing where we caught some throw backs. Then took us further our to troll for some bigger fish. They knew exactly what they were talking about and were incredibly fun. Will book with them again.
thanks for joining us and i look forward to our next adventure.
Captain James and first mate Kayden were great. We had three adults and two teenage girls and our first ocean fishing experience could not have been better. we caught spanish mackerel and bluefish. I would highly recommend and will definitely book again.
Thanks so much for the day.
