Captain Mac is incredible! He is respectful, punctual, and knows exactly how to get you want you want. We caught 4 sharks in under 3 hours and he made it an amazing experience! The equipment worked great, he baited our hooks, retied us to get us going again, and the boat and facilities are in great shape and clean! The captain remembered all of our names after only mentioning them once, he even remembered our professions and gave us nicknames! Over all an outstanding time, would give higher than 5 stars if I could! Will absolutely be booking another trip with him!
I would highly reccomend Captain Mac to anyone. He was very accommodating when bad weather canceled our trip on Monday he was willing to move bookings around to get us on the water before we left for home. My sons wanted to shark fish and he knew right where to go and we had sharks on the line within 10 minutes. We caught 7 total, 3 large sand tigers and 4 dusky sharks. My son left his wallet on the boat and Mac, worked with us to get it back that night. I couldn’t recommend him any higher. lit the title he was not only a great captain, but also a really good person.
The two Joe's treated my kids so well. We were afraid that my sometimes unwieldy kids would be to much, but they handled my kids with great care and consideration. We cought a bunch of fish, unfortunately all under sized, but still exciting to reel them in. Im definitely booking another trip when we return next year.
Took my two kids out (11 and 9) for my daughter’s birthday. It was their first time fishing and they had a blast. Caught a bunch, including a keeper sea bass and a few flounder. Couldn’t recommend captain Mac enough for families. He was terrific with the kids, helping them every step of the way.
Captain Mac was a great host. He mad it fun, mad us laugh, kept our expectations steady and made sure we had a good time. We had grandpa, a dad and kids (14 & 8) and he made sure everyone had a memorable time. We’d recommend him and plan to hire him again.
