Excellent crew — great charter!
Half Day Trip (PM) on March 21, 2022
Took 5 young anglers (ages 10-15) out for a half day on the continental shelf. Captain Matt and his crew mate Jeremy were outstanding. Put us on top of some great spots and the boys reeled in barracuda, mackerel and amberjack. Successful and memorable morning on the beautiful deep blue waters off Vieques. We’ve hired several charters in FL, SC, etc, and this was by far the best crew we’ve encountered. Easy going, professional and fun.

Spectacular trip. They were very accommodating to a big group of eight. All the reels were managed well. We caught pretty good number of fish. Even got some snorkeling in at the reefs.
