Great Captain and Great Time!!!
6 Hour Trip – Inshore Nearshore on August 9, 20262 adults

Booked Captain Doug based upon reviews and he lived up to our expectations and then some! Knowledgeable about what was in season, explained everything for fishing with the gear and what we were foshing for! Almost limited out on Beeliners and scored several Trigger fish, that we couldn’t keep due to length limitations. Boat was clean and excellently maintained! Captain Doug as a person was fantastic: good communication, conversation, and enjoyed leaning about different fish and live bottom, wreck fishing, and reef fishing! Even saw dolphins! Would recommend again and again. Uou can definitely tell Captain Doug enjoys what he does and spreads that joy to his passengers!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Great Day on the Water! l “Had an excellent trip from start to finish. The captain was knowledgeable, friendly, and worked hard to keep us on fish all day. The boat was clean, the equipment was in great shape, and we caught plenty of fish. The captain was great with answering questions and making sure everyone had a good time. I would highly recommend this trip to anyone looking for a fun and productive day on the water. We’ll definitely be back!”

Captain Doug was up front and honest about the fishing being slow. He had a plan set up for the morning. We ended up catching fish. Several charter boats were around us and we definitely boated more fish. Great conversations. Definitely recommended and would charter him again in a heatbeat.

Like many other guides, I have been fishing since I could hold a fishing pole. Fishing is my way of life and I am excited to introduce others to it.
