4 Hour Trip – Shark Hunt (AM) on August 19, 2025 • 4 adults

Such a great time! My family went out as a first time experience and we knew it was a hit and miss. You never know what you’ll catch or if you catch anything at all. I got boat sick, but my family had a great time. We caught 2 good size sharks. Our captain was so chilled and answered every question we had. After our trip, he cleaned and cut everything up for us! Worth every penny.

4 Hour Bay and Jetty Trip on June 17, 2025 • 2 adults • 1 child

1st trip for my kids and was hoping they could catch something from the salt. Captain knew the kids were inexperienced and got them on bait fish. Once we had what we needed took us out so the boys could catch big stuff. And they did. Oldest and I will book again, youngest enjoyed the boat ride through the big waves more than the fishing, but he a bit young still, another couple years and he'll get it

Reported catch:

Great trip, captain and his son were awesome and knowledgeable. Put us on some fish right away. Caught a sting ray and shark, being on the water was nice and relaxing would recommend.

6 Hour Trip – Combo (PM) on November 2, 2025 • 3 adults

My husband and son did this trip and loved it. Although they only caught one notable fish, they thoroughly enjoyed the experience. They plan to do another one next year at a time when they will likely be more successful with the catch. This 6-hr trip was very worth it and they had a great time with the crew.
