Lots of fun!!
Half Day Trip on June 11, 20264 adults

Captain Ryan was a whole vibe. Not only was he knowledgeable, he was funny. 3 out of 4 caught stingrays…1 person in the group had 2 fish but the line broke both times and the fish got away. We would definitely book this fishing trip again in the future.

Thanks for booking with us!

Great Day on the Sound!
Half Day Trip on July 30, 20254 adults

Second time booking with Waymaker Charters (Gratitude) and Captain Ryan. Ryan is extremely fun to go out and fish with, and very knowledgeable about the area, fishing, and hilarious to be out on the water with! The whole family had a great time, even the Mrs who has no interest in fishing :) We caught 40+ croakers for live bait to start the morning off, which was a lot of fun, and then reeled at least a half-dozen keeper trouts that made for a great lunch when we got home. Great time for all and highly recommended! Thank you again, hope to be back with you next year.

Half Day Trip - 1:00 PM on July 14, 20253 adults2 children

We have a very fun and enjoyable trip, started by catching our bait for the day quickly then off to another spot to catch sea trout. Every caught multiple fish and we actually reached out limit with time left in the trip which was great. We fished for some other types of fish for the rest of the time and had an enjoyable ride through the sound. The guide was friendly, knowledgeable and entertaining. The boat was comfortable and has plenty of space for our 5 guests. The kids had a great time and would recommend this charter to others looking for a fun trip to catch fish.

I took my wife and four kids out for a 2 hour trip the captain talked to us about what we wanted to do and I told him we would like to catch some fish. We made a quick run out and grabbed some bait that he set all four of my kids up with a pool and then off to where there was some bigger fish and we started fishing we did catch 6 fish In a. Very short time. The caption was fun and worked with everyone and my kids had a blast. We will be going back to do it again. Thank you
