Great experience

6 Hour Trip - Nearshore (Later AM) on June 16, 2026 • 2 adults • 2 children

1st time on a fishing trip with my family.  Captain Doug was accommodating during the booking process and welcomed us while we boarded. There was a TV with dvd's for the kids while we motored to the fishing area.  The big beanbag chair was very comfortable.  My boys had a blast and we caught lots of Spanish mackerel. We started at 6 am and added the 2 hour extension later (Captain Doug is patient and flexible). Unfortunately I got seasick so we cut our trip short. A great experience overall and one my family will always remember. Shout out to Rob the 1st mate , he is experienced and capable and hard working. One suggestion to the inexperienced, bring earplugs.

Sunday cruising

4 Hour Trip - Nearshore (Later AM) on June 14, 2026 • 3 adults

4 hour trip, near shore, not to many fish to be caught, but the ones we got were big. We got a huge spanish Mackerel, which we got the local restaurant to cook for us. 
The boat was great, fast when moving out to the fishing grounds, and stable when fishing.
10/10 experience had a blast, would recommend, we are going back. The captain and first mate were Top G’s

Fantastic 4-Hour Inshore Trip with Captain Doug!

4 Hour Trip - Nearshore (AM) on October 8, 2025 • 4 adults • 1 child

We had an amazing 4-hour trip aboard No Sweat with Captain Doug. He went above and beyond by taking us further out than usual to make sure we found the fish—and it definitely paid off! We landed 5 big bluefish and 2 albacore tuna and even had the excitement of losing another right at the boat.

Captain Doug was knowledgeable, professional, and clearly knew where to find the action. Great boat, great atmosphere, and great fishing. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a productive and enjoyable day on the water!

Great trip to the "Rocks"

8 Hour Rocks Trip on June 17, 2026 • 4 adults

Moderate seas in the morning. Trolled South close to shore and caught Spanish Mackerel, King Mackerel, and Albacore Tuna.  Then transitioned further offshore and trolled spreads for billfish and wahoo.  Caught a couple King Mackerel and hooked up but lost a couple Wahoo.  20+ fish day.
