Oscar NeimarRepeat angler5.0VerifiedGreat trip with new coworkers/new friends
2 Hour Trip–Inshore (7AM) on June 6, 2026 • 4 adultsI was only in Florida for 1.5 weeks and wanted to do something fun with my new colleagues during the weekend. Something out of the office to get to know the guys better. I couldn't have asked for a better captain to take us out. Chris was hilarious, great to talk with and an excellent guide for some of the rookie anglers I brought. We only had time for the 2 hour trip, but given the chance, I would happily come back and do a 4 hour or longer trip with him again. I would 100% recommend this charter service to anyone looking to have some fun out on the water in Florida.
Richard Ruby4.7Verifiedgreat trip very enjoyable
4 Hour Trip–Inshore (7AM) on September 11, 2026 • 2 adultsGreat Experience with Captain Taylor! We had a great day on the water with Captain Taylor. The fishing was slow today, but Captain Taylor worked hard the entire time to put us on fish and kept us motivated and optimistic. We did catch fish, just unfortunately nothing that was a keeper — and from what we heard, other boats were experiencing the same conditions. What really stood out was Captain Taylor’s effort, knowledge, and determination to make sure we had a great experience regardless of the conditions. He never gave up and continued working to find the fish. Even though we didn’t bring home any keepers, we had a great time and would absolutely recommend Captain Taylor to anyone looking for a hardworking, knowledgeable, and personable fishing captain. We’ll definitely be back!

4 Hour Trip–Inshore (7AM) on March 9, 2025 • 4 adultsWould definitely recommend as it turned out to be a great time with the captain. Funny stories and jokes the whole trip kept the mood light and fun. 10/10
Colton Eiden4.7VerifiedFriendly guide
4 Hour Trip–Inshore (7AM) on April 8, 2024 • 2 adultsGuide is nice and outgoing will put you on some fish. Was hoping to catch more species of fish but it was pretty windy so we were limited by the area we could go. Would recommend this guide for any beginners or people interested a nice captain. Also he will meet you at Hooks (if you request or he recommends) and have fish filleted for you to bring in and have a fresh meal off the ocean!
Daniel CharlesRepeat angler5.0VerifiedComedy on the flats
4 Hour Trip–Inshore (7AM) on May 17, 2024 • 2 adultsCaptain Chris was great! He kept us on the fish all day and was hilarious! Everything was exactly how we hoped it would be. If you want to catch fish and have a blast, look no further! Captain Chris is your guy!

4 Hour Trip–Inshore (7AM) on October 23, 2024 • 2 adultsVery professional, very knowledgeable. Capt. Chris has a great sense of humor and had us laughing and in fish the whole morning. Treated us like we were movie stars. Thanks Chris!
David Brown5.0VerifiedGreat time. Knowledgeable captain,
4 Hour–Inshore (11:30AM) on June 10, 2023 • 4 adults • 1 childGreat with kids, caught only 3, but we could see the fish we were after, they just weren't eating. Highly recommend for 1st timers. 2 of the kids had never fished before. Know its a small fishing boat for a small group. All about fishing, not amenities. He provided everything needed including water for us. Great time, highly recommended.
Christina Quillen5.0VerifiedGreat Experience!
4 Hour Trip–Inshore (7AM) on June 24, 2024 • 2 adultsCaptain Chris was great! He even went into the water to try to catch the snook that got caught up in the mangroves. We had a wonderful time!
