Don’t waste your time looking through boats, this is the one
3/4 Day Trip on December 28, 20252 adults

It was perfect conditions so it was a perfect day before we left the dock. I’ve been fishing all around the world for 30+ years and I live in Miami so I know what to expect. The boat is VERY well kept. The captain and the mate are extremely knowledgeable and very experienced. Everything was perfect and we couldn’t be happier with the whole experience. I highly recommend and won’t waste my time searching any other boats next time we come back. We maxed out on black fin tuna and had an amazing day. Great job Capt!

Perfect Day!
3/4 Day Trip on December 27, 20254 adults2 children

We had the best day on the Spring Mix II with Captain Chris and mate Ben. We caught our limit of tuna, huge mutton snappers and some yellow tails + a shark. The boat was perfect for our two families and Captain and Mate were so helpful to our boys - on their first off shore charter. Definitely recommend and we’ll certainly be back!

Captain Paul is the owner of the Spring Mix II, he also is a Coast Guard licensed Captain. Captain Paul knows there is more to running a charter business then just having a Captains license so he has hired one of the best in the area to run charters on the Spring Mix II. Captain Chris Watkowski is a real threat to the big fish. With more than 25 years offshore experience on the whole East Coast and out of Ocean City, Captain Chris knows the secret places you never knew existed. He specializes in catching Mahi Mahi, Marlin, Tuna, Wahoo, and Sharks.
