Super accommodating, great for all ages and great team!
3/4 Day Trip - 12:30 PM on July 5, 20258 adults

My family and I had a great time on this charter! It was our first time doing something like this as a family and we definitely do it again! The captain is very quick to respond to messages and has great communication Unfortunately today was pretty windy. Due to the wind, the boat rocked a little more than expected so my uncle got pretty sea sick but the capitan was really accommodating and let us drop him off back so the rest of the family could continue our fun! We’ll definitely come back again and take precautions beforehand to help prevent any seasickness next time! This was a great trip for kids as well they all loved it and definitely want to come back Besides that we caught alot of fish! Tons of Spanish mackerel which we were so excited to bring home. The team was very knowledgeable and knew the good spots and did their best to make this a great trip. A great surprise is how many dolphins we got to see! I would definitely come back with my family

Great Mothers Day!
3/4 Day Trip - 12:30 PM on May 10, 20258 adults1 child

We celebrated mothers day with this fishing charter. We have a large range of ages in our group. We all had a great time and caught so many fish. The crew worked really hard to ensure we had a fun and engaging time. We greatly appreciated the functional bathroom on bathroom available on board. We did a 6hr fishing charter and walked away with 12 fish, some bluefish and Spanish mackerel. Thank you Brandon, Chris, and Bobby for such a great fishing experience!

Half Day Trip (6:30 AM) on September 6, 20255 adults1 child

Thank you for your help with getting me and my family out for a great day of fishing. Our original reservation was on the Marcia B but they canceled the day before we arrived. You came thru for us and then treated us to great fishing and a memorable birthday for my granddaughter. She caught her first fish with your help. Thanks to Captain Brandon and mate Chris. We would definitely go out with your and your crew anytime.

Amazing crew
Half Day Trip - 3:30 PM on July 4, 20245 adults2 children

Brandon and Chris with Havock charters were absolutely amazing. We had a 4 hr trip that we wished could've been longer. Both were great with the kids helping them and teaching them what to do. We did a bit of all types of fishing. Caught fish , a few stingrays, saw dolphins, outters and more. If you are looking to book a trip look no further than Havock charters you will not be disappointed. Boat and gear were all great. We can not thank Brandon and Chris enough for the amazing trip. We will definitely be back and booking with them again.

3/4 Day Trip on June 28, 202510 adults4 children

We had 15 people on the boat so our fishing was all trolling. Had a few folks that would have liked to do some casting, but we had a full boat. Caught several Spanish Mackerel and one small blue fish. We cooked ours with one of the other families that went & had fish for dinner that night and it was phenomenal. It was everyone’s first time having that type of fish. The crew was friendly, personable, and knowledgeable. We had great weather and a fun time!
