Family Fun Day with Capt. Glen (Black Tip Charters)
Half Day Trip – Reef Fishing (PM) on December 31, 20224 adults

We had to cancel our initial booking thanks to Southwest's holiday debacle, and Capt. Glen was very flexible in rebooking and looking for a time slot that would work for us. I'm glad it all worked out, and he made it possible. We trolled for big snapper for a little but that didn't work out, and then we moved spot to spot to get the kids on some reef fishing action, they pulled fish after fish. Finally the kids had to get wet, so we hit a beautiful snorkeling area, then Stingray City before the big headboats arrived, and then a spot away from crowds at Starfish Point. Capt. Glen and his crew (Dwight!) will make your trip memorable, and goes above and beyond for his clients.

Bucketlist Item Achieved!
Half Day Trip–Deep Sea Fishing (AM) on December 27, 20236 adults

Nothing but praise for the Captain and Bubba. They worked with 6 of us cruising tourists and jumped through hoops after Cayman Offshore Adventures cancelled on my family last minute. Both of them were knowledgeable, fun, and patient. Not only did we catch fish, they told us where to cook them up at !

Reported catch:
Wahoo
Great Barracuda
