Great experience
Half Day Trip (AM) on July 4, 2025 • 2 adults
Inexperienced fishermen here. We booked online and there was a scheduling mix up but William went above and beyond to make it happen for us on a different day. My son’s first time in the ocean and William was a great teacher, very respectful, had great stories about growing up local and knowing good spots. Very understanding and patient when my son got sea sick. At one point we couldn’t get a third line baited because they were biting great. Caught mostly sharks which put up a fun fight. William even sent us a video of my son and I both reeling in sharks at the same time. My son’s overall impression, “Totally worth the puke.” We both had an excellent time and highly recommend William.

What a Great Day!!

Captain William is a knowledgeable fisherman with a kind and relaxed personality. We took our teenager and 2 friends out on a half day charter and it was spectacular inspite a cold morning. We kept catching fish so we didn't care about the cold. Every time Captain William tried to move the boat somewhere new, we caught a fish. If you have a family or just out with friends I would highly recommend this charter. Oh, and he also fileted our fish for us. Delicious!!

If you're looking for a welcoming and exciting fishing trip hosted by a local, look no further than Captain William! Not only is he knowledgeable about the crystal coast, but he also takes measures to ensure safety and comfort of his clients. As a young woman, I felt extremely safe being around William and fishing on his boat. Overall, we had a great trip and caught some nice fish!
