Franke Donlon5.0VerifiedIf you want to catch fish - Timmy will put you on them!
4 Hour Trip (PM) on April 20, 2025 • 3 adults • 1 childOn Easter Sunday, we embarked on an unforgettable fishing adventure and caught an impressive array of fish, including Speckled Trout, Redfish, Snook, and Jack Crevalle. Captain Timmy was exceptional—easygoing, friendly, and incredibly knowledgeable. His demeanor, dedication and hard work made the experience truly enjoyable. He tailored the fishing trip to suit our preferences - and 12-year-old fishing enthusiast, ensuring that we had a memorable time on the water. We highly recommend Windward Fishing Charters—definitely a 5-star experience all around!
David ListmanRepeat angler5.0VerifiedA Great tarpon Fishing Experience
6 Hour Trip – Tarpon on June 9, 2025 • 2 adults • 1 childCaptain Timmy was great. He's a veteran in the area with a fine boat and equipment. He's been fishing these water since he was a kid and he knew all the right spots. He called in advance to change the start time so that we could take advantage of the tides. We hook 3 and reeled in a 60 pounder.
Regina Murphy5.0VerifiedFishing trip in May

Frank Kish5.0VerifiedAwesome! We want to go again!
4 Hour Trip (AM) on May 18, 2024 • 5 adults • 1 childCaptain Tim and his deckhand Jack were a knowledgeable and friendly crew leading our group of 4. My 10 year old provided the review headline since we had a great time catching a bunch of snook, 1 big blue bluefish and few saltwater catfish to keep things interesting. Captain Tim kept us on the fish and explored 5 different spots. Highly recommend for a fun inshore 4 hour morning trip.

Conditions weren’t the best. We targeted snook and Captain Timmy delivered. Not just snook. we caught grouper, snapper, and speckle trout. Even one hardhead. Truly, I enjoyed fishing and sharing information with Captain Timmy. 👍
My son & I have chartered w/ Captain Tim multiple times as this point. We never get skunked. He knows where to find fish. Always polite, professional having all the gear you’ll need. Highly recommend booking with him.
My son & I have chartered Captain Tim for multiple trips for multiple years now. And we always catch fish! He is very knowledgeable of the area, kind & friendly. We will return and recommend others to book his charter.
the conditions were not great but Tim worked hard to get us on fish. He moved us to every location that should produce fish. We caught several but some were not in season. We did catch some keepers. We had fun even though we didn’t catch alot. I would do it again.
