Tremendously exceeded our high expectations.
6 Hour Trip - Spring (PM) on March 14, 20266 adults

Captain Justin asked us what we wanted. We told him we wanted to have fun catching fish. He delivered on the request. He knows how to find the “honey hole”. The 1st mate, Danny, was experienced, efficient, knowledgeable, and pleasant. We learned a lot from him. He really helped the non-experienced fishers. We will definitely book with them again. We doubled what we planned to tip because everyone claimed “this was the best charter fishing trip ever”!
