I booked this charter as a gift for my fiance and his adult sons. From the first communication with Captain Anthony, it was a fantastic experience. My fiance and his sons thoroughly enjoyed their time on the water. Captain Anthony and his first mate are very skilled, knowledgeable and accomodating. They saw and caught a large variety of fish and very much enjoyed the boat. They truly enjoyed their experience. We highly recommend booking a charter with this company!
Thank you Kelly! Much appreciated.

A1 service and would recommend to anyone that wants a good day on the water!!!
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review! Your crew was awesome! Great vibe, great music playlist, and plenty of fish in the boat! 
Amazing crew. Helped our group out with everything. The captain made sure our group was catching something. We caught trigger fish, grunt fish and sea bass. 11/10 would recommend this crew.
Billy, Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We enjoyed having you all and are happy to know it was a great experience. 
Captain Anthony and Sam were great at finding all the right spots, so my fiancé and I were able to catch bonitos and sea bass. They were awesome at answering our questions and throwing out cool facts about what we were catching. When we got back to the pier they cleaned and cut the fish for us so we could get to enjoying everything we caught! I highly recommend using them for your next deep sea fishing trip!
Thank you Jessica for taking the time to leave a review! You both did great fighting those Bonito on light tackle!
we started trolling and missed the first strike but got some luck on the second and landed by a king mackeral followed by a mahi mahi. everyone in our party of 6 got action thanks to Capt Anthony. a wonderful experience.
Enjoyed having you all!
