Father's Day Gift Gone Really Right!

VERIFIED

Half Day Trip (AM) on June 18, 2025

I bought a half day trip as a father's day gift for my husband. He, my dad and my brother-in-law took my son (12), daughter (14) and nephew (14) out. They were all so excited when they got back. The men were able to watch the kids get their first offshore fish - that's what they all were most excited about. All of their pictures have huge smiles! The captain has been fishing a long time and was able to get them on the fish with ease even among unusually windy conditions. They loved that it was a very laid back trip with a knowledgeable captain and mate. We are thrilled. Thanks for memories that will last a lifetime and some of the biggest smiles I've ever seen on our teens. They came back with Mahi and yellowtail for us to take to Snook's Bayside for them to cook for our dinner. It was perfect!

Half Day Trip (AM) on June 27, 2025

We got 3 generations out on the water catching fish in the first hour. Captain Wayne and Captain Meg have been fishing these waters for years and know where, when, and how to fish. Why? Because it is a ton of fun!

Captain and first mate were very attentive and ready to catch whatever was biting. We didn't get much action that day but we had a good experience anyways.
