Capt Charlie is so knowledgeable and was so fun to hang out with! We caught big fish it was sooo exciting! Also gave recommendations for where we could go to get the fish prepared! Dinner afterwards was delicious and knowing we caught it made it even more enjoyable! we truly were the talk of the restaurant when we brought our fish in!! We’ll see you next time we come!!

“I went fishing with Finn on a boat yesterday. There was a man and a woman with us, and it was a perfect fishing trip—couldn’t have been better. Everything was just perfect, and I will definitely come back with my son Finn. Next year, I will book another fishing tour with them. It was really great, and it will always be a cherished memory.”
