    engine troubles

    6 Hr – Nearshore Reef Fishing Trip on July 16, 2026 • 5 adults • 2 children

    Leaving the dock we started having minor fuel pump issues. The captain assured us it was no big deal. Barely made it out to the fishing spot. Left engine wouldn’t start on way back and right engine was acting up all the way back, hoing sbout 1/2 power and struggling. Right engine died just as we got close to shore. Had to wait for a boat to come tow us back to the dock. Took 3 hours to return. Wasnt even offered a discount for the inconvenience.

    Worst trip we have ever had in this area, we booked a 3 adult and 2 kid trip and the adults were not offered the chance to fish. I would not recomend this Captain to anyone

    4 Hr – Nearshore Fishing Charter - 2:30 PM on July 29, 2026 • 5 adults • 2 children

    Trip was for 3 adults and 2 children, one adult was sick this happens. The kids caught fish but they didnt have equipment ready or offered to the two adults. We were way overcharged and the captin siad he would not refund any charges because his people had a different story. Do not waste your money on this outfit.

Response from Captain

We did have some engine troubles on this trip but the review certainly is not 100% truthful. We unfortunately filled the boat the night before and there was a bunch of water in the fuel. It slowly made its way into the VST tanks on the motors and caused the issue. You guys were able to get the entire 6 hour fishing trip in as normal. And you were issued a $500 refund for the inconvenience.

Captain Austin grew up charter fishing with his uncle around 2010, where he began working as a mate. He continued working alongside his uncle until he was old enough to obtain his Captain’s License, and he has been running fishing charters ever since. There is nothing Captain Austin enjoys more than putting clients on fish and helping them create unforgettable experiences on the water.
