Fishing with Cr
Full Day Offshore Fishing Trip on February 10, 202610 adults

The boat is well equipped and has several areas to hang out while waiting for the fish to arrive. I can't say enough about the Captain and Crew. They were friendly and helpful, but most of all they made the day special for everyone. As a blind person I was worried that I wouldn't be given the same experiences as the other people in the group. The team helped me by having me feel everything so I would know what to expect, and when the fish was on the line they let me bring it in the same as the others. I felt included and so excited when that fish finally was landed. This was a family event for us and it was the highlight of our trip! Everyone talked about it for the rest of our time together and it will be a wonderful memory for us going forward. Thank you for this great experience!

3/4 Day offshore Fishing Trip on May 10, 20269 adults

Our group of 9 had a GREAT time aboard Nauti Ventures! The weather was beautiful and we were all able to make several catches - specifically Mahi Mahi and Sail Fish. I admittedly stopped counting, but we had to have caught at least 25 fish. The captain and his firstmates were friendly, professional, and got straight to business; they worked hard to make sure we had a great time. We enjoyed the drinks, fruit, and lunch they offered - the boat was in good condition too. Catching Tuna would have made this a perfect day, but we can't always get what we want LOL. THANK YOU!

Reported catch:
Dolphin (Mahi Mahi)
Sailfish

Comfortable and hard working
3/4 Day offshore Fishing Trip on April 8, 20264 adults

Flybridge lounge seat makes for a comfortable ride to and from the hotspot. 3 course meal with plates of fresh fruit, chips and dip, and sandwiches served on 3/4 day trip. Hardworking and extremely friendly captain and crew. We didn't have great luck with targeted species. Caught a nice Mahi.

Capitan Chompy and his crew were excellent and put us on the fish. Are party of 4 ended up landing 11 sails and lost one near the boat on a full day trip. We had several othrs come up in the spread that didnt hook up. Crew worked extremely hard all day and they were excellent with my kids as well. could not have asked for a better day on the water

Great Trip
Nearshore Fishing Trip (PM) on February 19, 202610 adults

Boat and crew were awesome. Fishing could have been better but we did catch dinner with 3 snapper. We were hoping for rooster fish but they weren't cooperating. Overall I recomend these guys, they worked hard and everyone enjoyed the day.

Reported catch:
Cubera Snapper
