Captain Taylor was awesome to be on the boat with. Tried getting us on sharks first thing but they just weren’t hitting. My 8 year old was starting to get bored so we started trolling and that really woke him back up as the rods started coming alive. Taylor was great with my boy and kept him engaged. Appreciate the great trip would definitely book him again

Last minute decision to book a trip but our kids had a great time. Capt Jayson was helpful and polite and we will absolutely book with him next time we’re in the area. For 2 adults and 2 older kids our 3 hour trip was the perfect end to a great week.
