Highly Recommend
5 Hour Trip on June 21, 20264 adults

We had an amazing experience with Captain Parker! It was our two teenagers’ very first time fishing, and he made it such a fun and memorable trip. He was patient, knowledgeable, and took the time to teach them while making sure everyone had a great time. Thanks to Captain Parker, they caught fish, made great memories, and are already talking about going again. We highly recommend him to anyone looking for a fantastic fishing charter. Thanks for an unforgettable day on the water! 🎣

Amazing Trip, great fish!
6 Hour Trolling on June 29, 20264 adults

We went on the 6-hour trip with a group of 4. One of our members was seasick almost the entire time, but the captain and crew worked to make him comfortable. The other 3 of us caught some amazing fish, including a Mahi Mahi, King Mackerel, Barracuda, and Rudder fish. They were so patient with us and made the whole experience perfect. Parker did a great job driving the boat, while Sean and Lou were both incredibly knowledgeable and super fun. Highly recommend!

Reported catch:
Great Barracuda
King Mackerel (Kingfish)

Fish Witch Always Delivers
12 Hour Trip – Bottom Fishing on May 18, 20266 adults

I cant recommend this crew enough. Shjon and Parker are incredible and put us on great fish all day. They are both extremely knowledgeable about the locations and tactics to put tons of fish in the boat. We caught a bunch of grouper, snapper, black sea bass, and amberjack thats going to keep my freezer full for months. This was our 4th trip with Fish Witch and there will definitely be more. Thank you guys for an amazing day of fishing!

Wife and daughters finally went fishing off shore
6 Hour Trolling on July 24, 20255 adults

Couldn’t ask for a better experience to take my wife and daughters off shore for their first journey. Boat size handles the waters better than many smaller boats seen on many charter sites. Captain Parker keeps a clean boat and knows the area and what he is doing. Trust what he says, we showed up thinking we would troll for 6 hours, he indicated trolling was slow and we should live bait off some wrecks. Best decision ever, my son and the ladies caught big fish. Captains mate Shawn should not be overlooked, he and Parker together make it all work. We will use them anytime we are wanting to charter.
