Fantistic trip highly recommend
6 Hour Trip – Offshore on June 1, 20263 adults1 child

We had an amazing trip and would highly recommend Lucas and his charter to anyone that is looking for one. We had one request and he delivered and then some. I had asked for Mahi for my oldest and he delivered and then some. We then sought out for tuna and was able to catch a couple. Today couldnt have been as smooth without his first nate Mike and he was on point. He was right there and just knew exactly what needed to be done and if we needed anything he was there for us. As a mom I couldn’t have asked for a better family memory, so thank you from the bottom of my heart.
