    Great day of fishing!

    3/4 Day Trip – Bottom/Trolling - 6:00 AM on July 4, 2026 • 6 adults

    Captain Corey put us on the fish and got our Snapper limits even with less than ideal water conditions following a storm and tons of boats out on a holiday weekend. We also did some trolling and caught a couple nice King Mackerels. Max was one of the best deck hands I’ve fished with. The passion these guys have for the sport and their true desire to put you on good fish is incredible. Can’t wait to fish with them again!

    Amazing experience, caught our limit!

    3/4 Day Trip – Bottom/Trolling on July 8, 2026 • 4 adults • 2 children

    We had a great time and limited out on Red Snapper. We caught other species as well and had a great time. The captain and the deckhand were great, very knowledgeable and also great to talk to. They taught us how to best catch Snapper and were patient as we learned. My wofe had never been fishing before and she caught the most fish. Highly recommend this charter.

    Excellent Fishing!

    3/4 Day Trip – Bottom/Trolling - 6:00 AM on June 9, 2026 • 4 adults • 2 children

    Captain and deckhand were definitely in sync the entire trip. We took a 6hr charter and were catching fish approximately 20mins from leaving the dock. Hands down the best charter I’ve been on across 30A. They were excellent with the kids and would recommend for fisherman of all levels. Do not think twice, book Captain Herbert and his deckhand Max!

    Great Boat, Captain, & Crew

    5 Hour Trip – Bottom/Trolling (PM) on May 14, 2026 • 3 adults • 1 child

    As all of us do, we work hard to come play. I reached outto the captain and got an instant response. We talked and he made his recommendations. We booked the five hour for the next afternoon. Great communication, captain set us to go earlier in the day due to the conditions. We hooked up soon as we stopped and continued till we all had our limits. The mate Jackson was very attentive to us and especially our 8yo, he kept her on tight lines reeling them in. Awesome trip, will book again.

    5 Hour Trip – Bottom/Trolling (PM) on May 11, 2026 • 3 adults

    These guys are top notch! Starting off, Captain reached out the night before and offered up early departure the next day due to some possible bad weather in the afternoon. Then he put us on fish immediately when we hit the fishing grounds. First mate was absolutely awesome. Both him and the captain were in constant communication, letting our family know how far to let the bait drop, then BAM, fish on. Finished with some hook and cook right at the dock. Fantastic day!!! Thanks guys

    This was such a great fishing trip! We caught our limit of Red Snapper and they were so accommodating to my 70 year old father with physical limitations. Our group really enjoyed our time, we will definitely be back to go again!! Thank you for making the trip memorable!

    Great memories with the grands!

    5 Hour Trip – Bottom/Trolling (PM) on July 18, 2026 • 5 adults • 1 child

    We brought our three oldest grandkids for their first fishing trip. Captain Corey made sure everyone caught fish. Max was great with the kids, helping them with whatever they needed. We will definitely book with them again.

    A great 6 hour trip with an outstanding Capt and deck hand. All 3 of us caught our red snapper limit including plenty of variety on the hook and in the cooler. The red grouper was delicious. Highly recommended.

    Fantastic fishing trip. the Captain knew where to go and would move frequently to ensure we were constantly getting the fish. The deck hand Max was hussling hard to keep our lines constantly baited and getting the fish of the boat. Very comfortable boat and everyone had a great time. We will be back and hope we can book with them again.
