4 Hour Trip – Nearshore/Offshore
Captain Paul was AMAZING and so was the trip!!
Captain Paul gave us an unforgettable day on the water! He was professional, punctual, and incredibly attentive from start to finish. We were on fish right away, and he continuously answered our questions, adapted the trip to meet our needs, and made sure we had everything necessary for a great time. Not only did we catch plenty of fish for dinners throughout our week in Englewood, but we also got to see dolphins, a sea turtle, barracuda, and explore several amazing spots. It was nonstop action and so much fun! Captain Paul was a true pleasure to work with, and my crew and I had an absolute blast under his guidance. Thanks again, Captain Paul — we’ll definitely be back! Best, Emily,Kim,Nancy

Morning 4 hour trip with Captain Paul
Captain Paul was amazing! The first spot he took us to had so many fish. My 8 year old son was catching them left and right and Captain Paul was patient with him. He taught him how to reel them on and explained all about the fish we caught plus he took pictures and air dropped them to is before we parted. We actually made a short detour to drop off my very seasick wife and 5 year old daughter, who was not into fishing today. He made sure we saw a dolphin on the way back which perked up my daughter. Captain Paul was understanding and kind about the whole situation. At the end he cleaned the fish and we saw a bunch of birds at the Marina. He even showed my son how to throw a little piece of fish at an egret who caught it in its mouth. This is an experience we will never forget, especially my son who loves the ocean and wildlife.
