    Amazing Family Fishing Adventure with Captain Shane

    4 Hour Trip – Inshore on July 22, 2026 • 4 adults • 2 children

    We had an absolutely amazing time deep-sea fishing with Captain Shane in Gulfport! He was fantastic with the kids and kept them engaged, excited, and having fun throughout the entire four-hour trip. We stopped at three different fishing spots, caught more than 20 fish, and were able to bring 15 home! At the end of the trip, Shane cleaned and filleted all of our fish for us, which was such a great bonus. His recently remodeled boat was beautiful, clean, and very comfortable. This was an unforgettable family experience, and we cannot recommend Captain Shane enough. We will definitely book with him again!

    Great family fun

    4 Hour Trip – Inshore on July 14, 2026 • 6 adults • 3 children

    What an awesome fishing experience! Capt. Shane was great and got us on the fish immediately. We were up in the air on whether to take a 4 or 6hr charter but ended up doing thr 4hr because we had some young anglers with us and were unsure how long they could hang. After our experience with captain Shane, we will be doing the 6hr next time! Shane was great and very informative with the kids and they had a blast! Everyone caught several fish and Shane was very attentive and accommodating. We highly recommend a charter with Captain Shane it is a blast for all ages and his knowledge of the fish and their locations is spot on.

    Amazing fishing trip with Captain Shane!

    4 Hour Trip – Inshore on June 29, 2026 • 6 adults • 1 child

    This fishing trip was the highloight of our trip to Florida! As a mized group of freshwster anglers and newbies, offshore fishing was a new experience for all of us. Captain Shane was a professional throughout, took us to a great location, and gave us lots of pointers to hook ourselves a ton of snapper and mackerel. We even had some competition with a couple of dolphins who kept trying to snag a free lunch!! I’d give this experience and additional star if I could.

    Captian Shane is fantastic!

    4 Hour Trip – Inshore - 1:00 PM on June 20, 2026 • 3 adults

    Our group had a great time thanks to Shanes knowledge, kindness and his personal passion for fishing! He did a great job explaining how to work the equipment propely and made it super easy for the inexperienced fishers in our group to be involved, safe and have a great time. He not only knew the waters well but also shared cool facts about the area and was great to converse with during the trip. Next time I’m back, he’s my go to charter!

    Awesome and fun fishing trip!

    4 Hour Trip – Inshore on June 18, 2026 • 4 adults • 1 child

    Captain Shane showed us a super fun, productive morning fishing! The boat was super nice and clean, the poles and gear were top notch, and the live fish bait was perfect! We caught over 25 fish, a shark, and my son even hooked a bird (lol). Captain Shane was super friendly, great with the kids, and made sure we had a great time!

    Great day for the whole family

    4 Hour Trip – Inshore - 1:00 PM on July 9, 2026 • 4 adults

    Shane asked us what our expectations were when we booked. My boys just replied something big. When we boarded Shane gave us a few options. First we caught several nice size trout, a mackerel and a huge stingray. Then we went shark fishing. And my son caught a shark. It was great. Very exciting. Great memories.
