Half Day Sportfishing - 12:00 PM on April 2, 20262 adults

If you are looking for an incredible day on the water with a crew that truly goes above and beyond, look no further than SoFlo Sport Fishing. From the moment we stepped on the boat, the captain and first mate were professional, easy-going, and extremely informative. We headed out into some really challenging ocean swells, but their expertise made us feel completely safe and comfortable the entire time. The fishing was phenomenal—we managed to land a tuna, a king mackerel, and a sailfish! It was an absolute thrill. What truly set this experience apart, however, was the crew’s compassion and attentiveness. I deal with health challenges that make me prone to overheating; despite my planning, the heat became overwhelming. The captain and mate were "on it" immediately. They were incredibly kind, patient, and helpful while I recovered. They even offered to take us inland to escape the swells so we could continue our excursion in calmer waters. To top it off, they gave us a fantastic informative tour of the area while we cooled down. To end the perfect day, they recommended a local place that cooked up our fresh catch for us—and man, it was phenomenal! Their willingness to adapt the trip to ensure my well-being meant the world to us. We had such a great time, and I would recommend them to anyone. I will happily rebook with this captain again in the future!

Amazing Trip
Half Day Sportfishing on June 21, 20264 adults

We had an amazing time on this fishing trip! Even catching the bait fish was a blast and kept us entertained the whole time. We were lucky enough to land a 7-foot Golden Dusky shark, which was definitely the highlight of the trip. The entire crew was fantastic—friendly, knowledgeable, and always willing to help. They made the experience enjoyable from start to finish and worked hard to put us on fish. Whether you’re an experienced angler or just looking for a fun day on the water, I highly recommend this charter. We can’t wait to come back and do it again!

Excellent Fishing Adventure
Half Day Sportfishing on May 5, 20266 adults

Chartered a private 4 hour AM fishing adventure with Captain Dave and 1st Mate Nick on 5/5. 6 very satisfied customers caught 9 fish of black fin tuna, king fish, and bonita. After returning to dock, Nick cleaned and filleted all the fish and recommended that we take the fish to a nearby seafood restaurant, the Raw Bar, where they cooked our fish based on how we wanted it prepared. I highly recommend Captain Dave and Nick for your next fishing experience.

weather not ideal, didnt matter; great experience!
Half Day Sportfishing on February 23, 20262 adults2 children

All week the weather was phenominal until our fishing day. It was cold but our crew made the trip amazing. If youre looking for a great fishing day, great crew they will not disappoint. They went above and beyond to get our boys as many fish as possible. Captain Dave’s knowledge of the area is sexond to none and Nick and Dre were awesome with the boys. I could continue to write about the entire experience in here, but i just suggest you go experience it!
