Great morning fishing with Captain Sean
4 Hour Trip — Inshore/Nearshore on October 6, 2026 • 2 adults

Had a great experience taking my son fishing with Captain Sean. Beautiful new boat with all the right equipment. Sean called and actually shortened our planned trip the night before based on conditions. No upsell or desire to keep us out of the fish weren’t going to be jumping on the hook or weather moving in. The captain truly wants to put you on the fish then get you back to your vacation. We will absolutely book Sean again when we’re back in town.

Fun 3hr trip
3 Hour Trip — Summertime Kids Trip on August 20, 2026 • 4 adults

Our party of 4 had a nice 3 hour morning fishing trip. We meet Captin Sean at the boat ramp where and loaded up ans made anout a 15 min run to our first fishing spot. The water temp was over 90 so it made our conditions tough. Thankfully Captain Sean has a lot of local knowledge of where to find fish to make your trip enjoyable. We used live shrimp and caught several mangrove snappers. We had to change locations a few times because a pod of dolphins kept following us around and tried to steal our fish. To close out the day were were able to catch a few more mangroves, a jack and a couple hard fighting permit. captain Sean is very friendly and fun to talk to. He has a very nice brand new 23ft crocket center console that will acomadate your party with ease.

Great Trip despite the mid summer heat!
3 Hour Trip — Summertime Kids Trip on August 12, 2026 • 3 adults • 1 child

Capt. Sean did a great job getting us on some fish and providing a fun experience for my family. The brand new boat was well equipped and he made sure the novice fishermen in our group were well cared for. Everyone caught fish, despite the fact that it was mid August and water temps were high. Capt. Sean knows these waters and he made it happen for us.

A little bit of everything!
3 Hour Trip — Summertime Kids Trip on June 1, 2026 • 2 adults

Captain Sean did an awesome job of putting us on some hotspots. We caught 9 diferrent species, had a couple dolphin encounters, and even got a glimps of a manatee! He taught my son to use a spincast reel and ensured we always has bait on our hooks. Overall great experience and plan to book with him again the next time we're in the area.

3 Hour Trip — Summertime Kids Trip on July 28, 2026 • 2 adults • 2 children

Captain Sean was great! We took our 5 and 7 year old boy to do this. They both caught a variety of fish and had fun. My 7 year old even learned how to cast. I think this is great for beginners or young kids as my kids had a good time!

    My son and I had another incredible trip with Captain Sean this year. He caught the biggest fish of his life-a 25 pound Jack Crevalle! As always, Captain Sean knew all the best stops. And he’s minutes from Vanderbilt Beach which makes it so easy for us.

    Captain warned us in advance that the days had been slow. Other boats said the same. The captain found a few good spots, and we had a great day. Definitely recommend.
