Captain Gary is AWESOME
Half Day Trip (AM) on July 10, 20253 adults
Captain Gary was chatty and engaging. He made the trip so much fun. Not only did he teach us about the ocean, currents, tides and fish but made sure that we didn’t leave without catching something. He went the extra mile and had us stay longer just to hit a couple more spots. He made sure we saw the shark, sting rays, all of the dolphins, and so much more. I’d absolutely book this again. This trip was for my 73 yr old dad and my 23 yr old son. I just hopped on for the ride. He helped me make a memory for these two men that will be talked about forever. I can’t thank him and his kind heart enough!

This was our second year fishing with Captain Gary and he never disappoints! Not only did we catch fish but also saw Dolphins, bull sharks and manatee. Great experience being on the water with a great Captain.
