Our first time out in the ocean and it did not disappoint. We caught a big red grouper and a nice red snapper. Had three or four other big snappers on but just couldn't land them. Caught a bunch of keeper vermilion snapper. Had enough fish we took it right into the marina restaurant and had it fresh and it was so good. His mate Landon is a great kid and helped us all so much. Captain Wes was great with my kids and wanted to make sure they had a great time. Would definitely recommend!

These guys were great, Capt. Heath Howle went above and beyond to get us on the fish. Him and his crew kept the rods in the water and were continuously baiting the hooks and switching rods to ensure we always had line out. There were 2 adults and 3 kids on this trip and boat had plenty of space. They were great with the kids and would recommend these guys and would book again.

Capt. Wes and first mate Josh were fantastic! They brought us right to the fish! Our family caught close to a hundred fish including 24 keepers! Our 13 yo wanted to catch something big- so we tried trolling and within 10 minutes Capt. Wes had him reeling in a 3 ft Amberjack. We went home with 48 filets and a lifetime of memories. Thank you again for a truly unforgettable day!

Wes and his young deckhand were an absolute pleasure to fish with. Just the right amount of hands on help. They felt like good friends from the beginning to the end of the charter. Caught lots of fish especially for this time of year. Shared lots of information about the area. We will definitely book with him in the future. Thanks for everything.
