Switched to sportsman charter at the last minute to help them fill the boat

Originally signed up for the bottom fish party boat, but when we arrived they had two open slots on a sportsman fishing boat which we opted to take instead. Best decision of vacation! The crew hustled to make sure everyone was comfortable and did an amazing job not only finding the fish but helping everybody be successful. 

We caught a huge barracuda and several other various sizes of mackerel. My 16 year old son reeled in a 50 inch king mackerel, first mate said that it would be a tournament winning champion.  Then, right before we were ready to wrap up our day, our boat caught I believe a 7 foot amber shark. The first mate explained the importance of their conservation and education efforts and gave them the opportunity to buy a tag that would carefully be attached to the shark so that scientists could track it’s movements and it also allowed the couple that caught the shark to name it! So cool. 

We originally went to Florida so that my son could participate in a Boy Scout camp, of which he had a phenomenal time. We then spent four days sightseeing southern Florida, he said the sportsman fishing was a very close second to the amazing time he had a scout camp. Totally worth the money we put into it.  what an incredible experience.  Making plans to go back next summer with the family

We had a great time, the crew are involved and helpful. Everyone on the boat caught a fish! My expectation was a bit wrong, I thought this was a smaller boat with maybe 8 people, it turned out to be a pretty big boat with about 30 people, but in the end that did not take away from the experience, it was more like pier fishing in the middle of the ocean, with a very helpful guide there to make sure everyone has a great time.

We booked this for our first thing to do on our long needed vacation.  Affordable, fun and relaxing. My husband and I each caught fun bright yellow fish! The staff was informative, helpful and had a good sense of humor. The water was kind of wavy making the boat ride itself very fun! Beautiful views of the ocean! I would reccomend to anyone looking to get out on the ocean who likes to cast and reel!

First advice…. take Dramamine….... I usually have
no motion sickness but I had it, and ruined the trip for me. Crew was good, but we ran into a heavy thunderstorm. Which did not help. Price is very reasonable and they do their best to make sure your odds are good at hooking something. Give them a try!

Our family went on this boat for our first deep sea fishing trip and everyone was so helpful and amazing. Fish weren’t really biting but yet the mates made sure to help our boys catch one. It was a special day!
