Amazing Time!!
5 Hour Trip — Summer on August 5, 20268 adults

This is the trip to book! Our group consisted of 8 people ages 22-80 years old. Some of us fishing novices, others experienced anglers. Every single one of us had a blast! The two young men that were on deck assisting us with instructions on how to use the poles, baiting our hooks, handling the fish we caught then fileting them for us were beyond awesome! They worked really hard to assure we could just keep on dropping our hooks and fishing. Captain Jason was great! He asked us what kind of experience we were looking for and gave us exactly that. He brought us out to all the hot spots and boy did we catch a lot of fish. We even got to see a shark! The boat had a wonderful air conditioned cabin and a nice private bathroom. Thank you Captain Jason and crew. We will be back!

FIve stars from our family!!
6 Hour Trip — Spring on May 23, 20266 adults2 children

We had an absolutely wonderful experience with this charter boat crew! The captain and crew were phenomenal from start to finish. We truly did not have a single complaint the entire trip. They worked hard to make sure everyone had a great time, and we caught plenty of fish! What stood out most to us was how attentive and kind they were — especially to the girls. They were patient, helpful, and constantly checking to make sure everyone was comfortable and enjoying themselves. Their professionalism and hospitality made the day even more special. After the trip, we headed back to the condo where Matthew prepared our fresh catch for dinner, and honestly, it was one of the best meals we’ve had. Such a perfect ending to a perfect day. We highly recommend this crew to anyone looking for a fun, memorable, and well-run fishing experience! We will return next year !

5 Hour Trip — Spring on May 24, 20267 adults2 children

Super helpful captain and crew! We had two little ones with us who got sick, and the crew was so patient, kind, and accommodating the entire time. Nick was amazing — always quick to re-bait hooks and made sure the kids had a great experience. He even helped both of them catch a catfish at the end! The boat was also incredibly nice and very clean. We had such a great time and would definitely recommend them!
