    4 hr– Lobster/Spearfishing Combo on August 25, 2026 • 2 adults

    Captain Ray made sure I had an amazing time on my first lobster-catching trip! Since it was my first time, I really appreciated his patience, guidance, and helpful tips throughout the trip. He made the experience fun, enjoyable, and memorable. I’ll definitely be booking with him again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for someone knowledgeable, professional, and accommodating. Thank you, Captain Ray, for such a great experience!

    4 hr– Offshore Fishing on November 2, 2025 • 3 adults

    I had a family member visiting from Europe. We encountered a pretty tough fishing conditions and our schedule was very limited but Captain and Leah went above and beyond to make the experience happen. It was my uncles dream to catch a fish in Florida waters and the crew made that happen. A+++ experience!

    Lobster/spearfishing combo trip

    4 hr– Lobster/Spearfishing Combo on August 19, 2025 • 4 adults

    We had an absolutely incredible experience on this lobster and spearfishing charter! From start to finish, everything exceeded our expectations. Ray and Leah took the time to explain the process, share safety tips, and point out the best spots, which made the trip both fun and educational. The equipment was in excellent condition, and the boat was clean. We were able to catch plenty of lobster for each of us and try our hand at spearfishing, and the guides were right there with us—patient, encouraging, and clearly passionate about what they do. Their local knowledge of the waters made all the difference, and we felt like we were in the best hands possible. Ray and Leah made sure everyone had an amazing time and got the most out of the day. We left with not only a great catch of lobster and fish, but also some incredible memories. If you’re looking for an unforgettable adventure on the water, I can’t recommend this charter enough. We’ll definitely be booking again!

    Great trip with Capt. Ray.

    6 hr– Lobster/Spearfishing Combo on January 15, 2024 • 2 adults

    My wife and I had a great time fishing with Captain Ray on the gulf side and caught lots of nice Snapper, Grouper, and even hooked a Cobia. We really appreciated his focus on us having a great experience. His knowledge of fishing and navigating the area is clearly outstanding and we really enjoyed talking to him and learning a lot about many aspects of being on the water and fishing in the area, as well as many other interesting facts. He was a lot of fun to fish with and gave us a lot of good advice on fishing from the shore and bridges on our own near where we were camping. We are looking forward to booking a trip to the Atlantic side when the weather allows.

    Best Charter Captains Ever!!!

    4 hr– Offshore Fishing on August 15, 2025 • 5 adults

    These captains are some of the greatest and most genuine people I've ever met. We booked a half day charter and things started out slow so they ended up keeping us out for a full day instead. They were very knowledgeable and worked hard to make sure we got what we came for. Ended up all catching a mahi mahi, rainbow runner, and a few huge barracuda. 10/10 would recommend them over anyone

    Great time with Capn Ray and Leah

    6 hr– Offshore Fishing on March 2, 2025 • 2 adults

    We have fished with Capt Ray multiple times and we always have a great time. Ray treats his clients with respect, invests the time to teach you the techniques if you care to learn! He works hard finding the fish, and will try lots of different spots and styles of fishing until he finds something that is biting. Always an enjoyable time!!
