Great Time Fishing!
8 Hour Trip on May 23, 20263 adults
We had an amazing time on the charter! Mangaed to catch a wide range of fish including Red Snapper, Beeliners, Trigger Fish, Ranibow Runner, Cuban Hogfish, and a Sandbar Shark! The experience exceeded expectations though we wish we could have gone during red snapper season so we could keep those guys, we just couldn't manage to do the trip at a later date. Was still absolutely worth the money. Huge shoutout to Captain Cooper and Hunter for their hard work, friendly disposition, and fishing knowledge. Not only did they manage to navigate us to multiple spots that kept our lines tight all day, but they were especially impressive in getting us back to shore safely through a storm that developed rapidly!
Reported catch:

Port A catch
8 Hour Trip on June 24, 20252 adults1 child
Quite happy with the variety and quality of the catch. Snapper limit, shark, king, and barracuda on an 8 hour trip. The first mate kept bait in the water and changed tactics frequently to optimize the catch. The boat does not have a/c and was a little warm but ok. Both the captain and first mate were smokers but it really didn’t bother us too much. Overall 5 star on the charter.
Reported catch:
King Mackerel (Kingfish)
Red Snapper

Thank you for your review, it was a pleasure having you fish with us. You are correct, there is not air conditioning in the open air helm area in this Bertram Express, but there is air conditioning in the closed salon and v-berth in the cabin. Thank you again, for your business. Respectfully, Bill Busters

Good weather and good times
12 Hour Trip on July 12, 20256 adults
I would HIGHLY recommend this charter to everyone to try at least once. The owners greeted us at the dock, introduced us to the crew, and we were underway. We booked for a 12hr but high seas turned it into an 8hr and I still don’t regret it. They put us on fish after fish, and just kept reeling them in. We are all very pleased with everyone involved.

The captain and the deck hand went above and beyond to make sure the trip was awesome. They were very helpful and efficient which maximized our fishing time. 10/10 would charter again.
