Half Day Trip (PM) on November 30, 2024
Good boat. Great captain. Charlie was super easy to communicate with. Chill and not watching the clock, only the sunset. We had a great time. Super knowledgeable. Knew how to approach every scenario. Hooked easy dinner with over 40 yellow tail snappers 15 keepers. Blue runners hit the live well and snagged us some more action trolling the ledge. Hit a good 30lbs King after a few bites and Cap gaffed it first shot bringing it on board for a great ending to an already great trip. Will 100% book again.

Evening tarpon or sunset cruise on March 24, 2025
Captain Charlie was awesome!! We had a great time with the sun set trip. We change it up on him last minute because I wanted my kids to catch fish so we decided not to target tarpon. First cast fish on !! We caught around 16 fish in about 2.5 hours and he recommended a place to cook our fish up. I recommend any to take a longer trip. When you have awesome free spirited guide like captain charle you need more time on the water. Such a great time I will becoming back.

Half Day – Fish and Snorkel (AM) on April 5, 2025
Captain Charlie was great! He was kind, knowledgeable, and patient. We had someone get sea sick and captain charlie was very accommodating. We definitely won’t go fishing with anyone else! He knows the ocean so well - we were very impressed and felt safe and comfortable the whole time.

Captain Charlie is the best! Fantastic communication and attention to detail while being super chill and laid back. He's knowledgeable, flexible, attentive and fun to be around. My husband and sons had a blast and can't wait to plan another trip with him!
