Best Mothers Day Gift
3 Hour Trip - 8:00 AM on May 10, 20262 adults1 child

Captain Tony is amazing. The day before he reached directly out to me to offer additional assistance information that helped our trip day run smoother. His choice in areas were both diverse and had plenty of fish. We were able to catch a Snapper and Trout that were dinner worthy for my family all while getting to experience the bay, seeing dolphins, sharks, and stingrays during our fishing time. He was also very knowledgeable and helpful once it came to setting the bait up on the hooks, casting, and giving us some great history lessons about the area. This was a Mother’s Day trip that did not disappoint and as a bonus got some fish for a solid dinner. Thank you Captain!

Outstanding skipper
Half Day Trip (AM) on June 7, 20264 adults

My son and I booked a half day inshore trip with Captain Tony. Despite a day where fish seemed elusive, Tony’s in depth knowledge of the waters and conditions ensured he put us on fish. He moved us to multiple locations and we ended up with a very successful day. Double figures of fish in the boat and a number of excellent fish. We highly recommend Tony.

Captain Tony Was Awesome
Half Day Trip (AM) on April 22, 20262 adults

Tony got us out right on time and as soon as we dropped a line we had fish on. Moved to a different spot and the fish were still biting strong. It was a great experience and we will definitely book with him again. The boat was clean and all the equipment was in good shape. If you’re a beginner or experienced, I would recommend this charter.
