Daniel Demichele5.0VerifiedGreat Experience
Full Day Trip on July 25, 2026 • 2 adultsCaptain Jack and Dalton were great. They were extremely professional, knowledgeable, personal, friendly, and welcoming. We caught a bunch of mahi; even though they werent biting as expected - and then got to fish off the bottom and caught some amberjacks; which I had never done before. We had alot of fun and would highly recommend this charter.

Half Day Trip (PM) on April 28, 2026 • 2 adultsWas early part of Mahi season. Caught 6 fish. Kept 4. My understanding is we caught more Mahi than rest of the charters out there (keepers). Overall good experience. Will be back.
