Great time in the water

Family Trip on May 18, 2026 • 4 adults

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!

Perfect day with lots if bonitos caught!

Offshore - 3/4 Day on April 16, 2026 • 5 adults

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!

End of summer fishing

Offshore - 3/4 Day on August 26, 2025 • 4 adults

Captain Anthony and his mate "Sam"  were wonderful! We went pretty far out and did trolling but had limited success there. Then we did some bottom fishing where we caught at least 50 fish. Only about half were legal size but that was more than enough for us. The boat was very nice, well-equipped, clean. Both the captain and mate we're very personable and engaging. Very efficient at fishing. Definitely watermen to the core. We had an excellent and fun trip!

Nearshore – Half Day on July 1, 2025 • 2 adults • 4 children

We had a great time with Captain Anthony! All we asked for was to catch some fish. Captain Anthony promised we would, and we did! The “main event” of our trip was when we caught a 15-lb stingray, but we caught a nice variety of different fish (including pigfish, sea bass and  a puffer fish). Captain Anthony was very knowledgeable, responsive and made it fun for the three kids we had on the boat. Would definitely recommend him with full confidence!
