Such a Great Trip!

6 Hour Trip (AM) on June 16, 2026 • 4 adults • 5 children

We had such a great time with Hey Babe Charters! We were two families vacationing together, and they made sure everyone had an amazing experience. Lucy, the deckhand, was wonderful and even helped our youngest anytime she had a moment. We caught our limit on snapper and made so many great memories. Highly recommend Hey Babe Charters for a fun, family-friendly fishing trip!

understand the fine print

8 Hour Trip on June 6, 2026 • 5 adults • 1 child

Overall, the boat was nice, and both Captain Brad and the deckhand were friendly, professional, and knowledgeable. We caught fish and had a good experience on the water.

My reason for leaving this review is to make future customers aware of the tipping expectations. The website states that the deckhand works for tips and that a 20% tip is customary. After our $2,500 charter, I tipped $85. Later, Captain Brad called me to explain that 20% is the customary tip and that the deckhand depends on tips for compensation.

While the website does mention this, customers should understand that the expectation appears to be much closer to a standard 20% gratuity than what many people might interpret as simply an optional tip. For a $2,500 trip, that means budgeting approximately another $500 in gratuity.

I also felt there could have been better communication regarding the sea conditions and options if the trip became too rough. The captain did tell us we could turn around if needed, but I was unclear whether that would have resulted in a refund, partial refund, or rescheduling.

Again, I have no complaints about the boat, the captain’s skills, or the deckhand’s work ethic. My review is primarily to help future customers understand the tipping expectations before booking.

Response from Captain

June 17, 2026

i dont know what else i can say. it very clearly written in 20% is customary. 98% of our customers give the deckhand 20% many give more.  they work hard. they are there a hour before the trip leaves and 2-3 hrs afterwards. they clean your fish clean the boat. a good deckhand makes the trip. A bad one ruins it. it has been like this for at least 20 years. it how it was when I  was a deckhand. it clearly stated 20% is customary you left between 3-4. you said the crew did a good job. you caught fish thats the whole point of the trip. we cant help the weather and if you had questions you should have asked them. we answer many questions daily. you had a good trip with a good crew you said it your self. And now you leave me a bad review because of something very clearly written in the description.

Fun time on rough seas

The water was rougher than we wanted, but thanks to Captain Mark’s experience and expertise we were able to catch some fish and have a trip.

Red Snapper kings!

6 Hour Trip (AM) on July 27, 2025 • 7 adults

Shawn and Ralf were awesome. My friends and family had a great time . They put us on the fish. We caught some real good Red snapper. It’s not always about the catching though, a good captain and mate can make a day of no fish just as fun and these two guys are the best. I highly recommend fishing with Hey Babe Charters. We will definitely be  going on another trip with them and recommending them to everyone we know back home in GA!
