5 Hour Trip – Trolling (PM) on December 28, 20252 adults2 children
Awesome fishing charter and a perfect family experience! Captain Tyler was great and put us right on the fish. Alan was patient, helpful, and awesome with the kids. We caught trigger fish, grouper, vermillion, and snapper, so there was never a dull moment. The kids were excited and felt like real fishermen, they even managed to sneak in a boat nap.  Fun, laid-back, and well run from start to finish. Highly recommend, especially for families!

Fishing Trip of a Lifetime
10 Hour Trip- Lets go DEEP on August 23, 20256 adults
We had a total of 6 people on the charter fishing. We caught A LOT of fish and a big variety. The really big catches were two sharks the biggest around 6 1/2 foot and the second around 6 foot. Another big catch was a huge sailfish that was over 6 ft. Everyone had plenty of fish to take home for a few dinners. The captain knew where and how to get us on the fish. The first mate did a great job navigating around us and baiting us back up. He did a good job making sure we landed all the fish we brought to the top. The boat was also really clean with cold AC in the cabin. We highly recommend this charter for the 10 hour trip.

6 Hour – Troll & Bottom Fishing on July 19, 20254 adults
We couldn't have asked for a better trip! Captain Tyler and Alan were great guides and they were also cool guys to converse with. We told them we wanted to bring Red Snappers home to eat and our mission was accomplished. We also caught a variety of other species like grouper, Triggerfish and Tuna. We mentioned that we wanted to catch something huge as well and we did just that. It took the 4 guys in our group over an hour to pull our catch in but with the help of Alan we were able to snag a 8 ft. long, 400lb Bull Shark! We got our butt's kicked by the shark but had a blast!!

8 Hour Fishing Adventure on September 15, 20254 adults
Captain Tyler knows how to put you on fish. You have to listen to his and the first mate's instructions, and be willing to learn a thing or two with a little "tough love", but it pays dividends in the end. During our 8 hour trip, we caught mackerel, red snapper, vermillion snapper, amberjack, lion fish, grouper, little tunny, and even a 7' / 200# shark. We were exhausted by the end of it! The first mate Allan is one hard working guy! It took him the better part of an hour to fillet all the fish we caught!

4 hour morning trip
4 Hour Trip – Bottom Fishing - 6:00 AM on July 18, 20252 adults1 child
We scheduled a 4 hour morning trip with Captain Tyler and Alan. This was our first charter fishing trip that we have taken. The seas were rough due to a tropical system, but Captain Tyler and Alan made sure we still were able to try and catch some fish and enjoy our time. Took our 11 year old son with us and the crew was friendly, attentive and helpful the whole time. Will definitely be booking another trip with them! Thank you Captain Tyler & Alan!
