Full Day Trip - Inshore
Capt. Chris is an absolutely fantastic person! This was my first charter, and I have to say, he's set the bar incredibly high for any future trips. I know this isn't always the case, but we were on fish right from the very first stop! His knowledge of the area and the fish, combined with his great attitude, made the whole experience enjoyable from the moment we said hello until we said goodbye. I'm usually not one to write reviews, but I just had to share this experience. I highly recommend this charter to anyone looking for a great time!

Half Day Trip – Inshore (PM)
Captain Chris was very attentive to helping us catch fish…a blue fish, a few red fish, a couple sheepshead, a trout, and a sting ray! He kept our hooks baited with fresh shrimp and minnows. And Chris patiently rescued our lines when we snagged the bottom or, ahem, the motor. We experienced a variety of Intercoastal spots and enjoyed many views of the St Augustine shore.

Half Day Trip - Inshore
His boat was literally spotless and in perfect shipshape order. We caught a variety of different sharks including one 6-7 footer that my teenage son had great fun cranking in and a beautiful Spanish mackerel that was delicious. We will definitely book with Captain Chris when we get down that way again. A fun experience and in my view there is never a bad day on the water!

Full Day Trip – Nearshore
Unbelievable experience! Can't say enough great things about our day out with Captian Chris. If you're looking for experienced knowledgeable professionalism, look no further. We didn't go fishing, we went catching, and plenty of it. Just hate we missed snapper season. Couldn't keep the ones we got. Top notch, highly recommend!

Chris was absolutely amazing. He was very attentive to our needs and when the fish just weren’t cooperating at one spot he would quickly move us to another more favorable soot. We caught a good amount of fish (including some keepers) and had a great day out on the water. We will definitely use Chris again I can’t wait til our next time
