Would 100% recommend!
5 Hour Trip on October 2, 20232 adults

Awesome people, very friendly and knowledgeable. My husband and I took an early October a.m. charter and we caught king mackerel, Spanish mackerel and a couple sharks (we tossed back). We had a great experience and felt like it was money well spent. He also cut up the portion we chose to keep right at the dock and bagged it for us so it was a very convenient transfer in the cooler back to the beach house. Fishing isn’t always a guarantee but these guys know what they’re doing and were wonderful at helping us make the most of our morning!

Excellent day fishing
5 Hour Trip on September 13, 20233 adults

The captain, Bill, was great! He knows his stuff. In particular, he knows king mackerel, and it really paid off for us. He was good company and we enjoyed being on the water with him. Bill put in the extra effort and cleaned our catch. The boat was well kept and equipped. We had no problems to mention. All in all it was excellent!

Reported catch:
King Mackerel (Kingfish)
