5 star experience!

10 Hour Trip on March 8, 2026 • 5 adults • 1 child

Captain Mike knows these waters and put us right on the fish from the start. We filled out the cooler early and the gear was top-notch. If you’re looking for a productive day on the water with a captain who works hard for every bite, this is the charter to book

8hr Tour

8 Hour Trip on July 2, 2024 • 1 adult • 3 children

Capt Mike and Deck Hand Lee were amazing hosts.  The ocean is no joke and being out with experienced and kind persons makes all the difference. Mike knows all the best spots to find fish and navigates you right to where they bite with ease.  Lee is right there to help you with your bait and catch while giving you sound advice.  The boat is powerful and capable of handling large waves.  Make sure to take some anti-nausea/motion sickness meds.  I had 3 kids with me 13, 10, 9 and they enjoyed the trip and no one got sick, except me.  Still a great trip and I’d do it again.  When you get back on land they clean the fish and package them for you.  There are places you can take the fish to have them prepared to enjoy and Mike and Lee will point those out to you.  A big thank you to both Mike and Lee for all the work, preparation, dedication, and passion to help others experience fishing in the ocean safely and with ease.  Thank you!!
