Maxwell BarnettRepeat angler5.0VerifiedGreat time plenty of fish
3/4 Day Trip – Offshore/Nearshore on May 9, 2026 • 6 adultsCaught a ton of fish including red and gag grouper and flounder. plenty of fish was brought back for the grill. Captain Will knows his stuff and would highly recommend.
Robert Badger4.7VerifiedFishing with Will
Full Day Trip – Offshore on April 16, 2024 • 6 adultsCapt Will was laid back and easygoing when I met him, but it soon became clear that he was just aching to make sure that every single person in his care would leave with memories to last a lifetime. He succeeded. My family will talk about this red letter day forever. Capt Will is an experienced seaman who grew up in the area, so he knows the local waters and all the best spots. You have found what you are looking for. Stop web surfing and book the reservation. I promise you will be glad you did.
Chasity Shryock5.0VerifiedDespite the weather we still caught fiah
Half Day Trip – Nearshore on March 29, 2025 • 6 adultsWill was an awesome captain. We battled the winds and current but still caught enough fish for a fish fry.
Pat Stabile5.0VerifiedAwesome day!
3/4 Day Trip – Offshore/Nearshore on July 2, 2022 • 6 adultsOriginally we were worried about the weather, Captain Will stayed on it and made sure it was safe to go out. He was very responsive whenever I had any questions. He was attentive during fishing and eager to make sure we were having fun and catching fish. First stop I caught a gag grouper unfortunately it was shy a few inches, we also caught a couple of cobias and red grouper that were not keepers but caught plenty of mangrove snapper for dinner! Great day, great Captain, definitely recommend.
Hung Nguyen5.0Verified4 hour morning trip
Half Day Trip – Nearshore on July 3, 2023 • 6 adults • 2 childrenWe had an amazing time with Captain Will! There were 6 of us in our group and he was quick to bait us up and help as soon as we needed it. He was patient and nice. We will book him again the next time we are visiting. We highly recommend Sherwood Nautical Adventures!
Shane Skennonto5.0VerifiedGreat Day on the Water
Half Day Trip – Nearshore on April 1, 2024 • 4 adults • 1 childWe’ve never gone saltwater fishing and Capt. Will was great. He made sure we were getting bites.
Bob White5.0VerifiedHooked 3 boys into lots of snapper, and now have 3 boys totally hooked on fishing.
Half Day Trip – Nearshore on June 23, 2022 • 4 adultsCaptain Will is the most down-to-earth, friendly and outgoing charter captain in the fleet.. He found the fish quickly.. put us on them and took care of everything then...made these 3 boys feel like they were pros. Great boat, will super high side Gunnels, making it very safe for small kids and family's. Thanks Capt Will, you ROCK. The White Family, Bob, Kaleb , Leim, and Dominic.
Jerry MullenaxRepeat angler4.3VerifiedCaptain goes overboard literally
3/4 Day Trip – Offshore/Nearshore on July 27, 2024 • 3 adultsThe bite was on the minute we anchored. While helping land a fish the captain's fishing pole went over the boat and he dove in after it and was able to bring it back in. Without missing a beat we continued fishing and catching some of the most prettiest fish in the gulf.
Kim Yeoh5.0VerifiedGreat morning with Captain Will!
Half Day Trip – Nearshore on April 7, 2023 • 5 adultsWe had an excellent morning with Will. Beautiful day and non-stop action at one of his secret spots!! :) Lots of snapper (dinner tonight!), red and gag grouper, and a variety of other species. Thanks Will!
Devin Lambeth5.0VerifiedFun fishing trip
Half Day Trip – Nearshore on December 29, 2023 • 6 adults • 1 childDespite the wind not cooperating, captain Will managed to find us a few spots and we were able to catch some fish. I will definitely go fishing with Captain Will again.

Robert, thank you so much for the nice words! We definitely found the fish that afternoon and I’m glad I was able to provide an experience that everyone will remember. Looking forward to getting everyone out again in the future! -Capt. Will
