This was our second time with Captian Nick this year. My 13 year old had an absolute blast and it was the highlight of his October trip so much so that he HAD fish with Captian Nick during his spring break trip. Captian Nick was helpful to all of us, knew just where to find the fish, and was extremely attentive during time on the water. He was patient with my son and helped him to not only have fun, but become a better fisherman. Will definitely continue to book with him in trips to come.
My teenagers and I LOVED our 1/2 day snook fishing in the mangroves. The weather was beautiful, the waters calm. The captain communicated great before our trip and sent us pictures after. Very nice boat and very clean! We felt safe! And Captain is amazingly skilled at his craft and I enjoyed him sharing techniques and sharing his love of snook with my son! Captain was VERY patient with our lures caught within the mangroves. He had plenty of live bait to bring in the fish. I lost track of the amount of snook my kids caught. Great pics! Great memories made! 10/10!
My family of four had an absolute blast fishing with Captain Nick. He had us in fish from our first cast to some technical casting i. the end of our day. We did the 3/4 day and it was perfect for our 10 and 11 year old. We caught 10 species and learned a ton about the area and seasons to better plan of next SWFL fishing experience. We were also thrilled tp see dolphins and manatees and an aray of bord species. If you take the time to read the reviews as we did. they are spot on and Captian Nick is definitely the goide to choose.
we were visiting from Minnesota and wanted to take the kids out to catch some fish. captain nick took us out early and got us hooked up early. we were fishing the whole charter and were catching fish at all spots. my boy caught his first snook and was super excited. i will use SWFL premier charters next time i am looking to get out on the water.
Nick was very knowledgeable and experienced, my wife fishes but was hesitant with casting off the boat, Captain Nick had no problem casting for her, especially in tricky areas. We had fish biting right away, caught quite a few fish. Very pleased with our experience, and would highly recommend to anyone else looking for a great charter experience!!!
