5 Hour Summer Trip on July 3, 2025 • 3 adults • 2 children
Our trip with Andy and Tim was fantastic, especially with kids involved! Right off the dock, they put us on fish immediately and kept the action rolling all day. Their energy and patience made it super easy for the kids to reel in catch after catch, and they made the whole experience feel effortless and fun. I’d recommend them without hesitation; we’ll absolutely be booking again!

Fun trip
4 Hour Trip Summer (PM) on June 1, 2025 • 4 adults • 3 children
We only booked a 4 hr afternoon trip. Captain Tim recommended at least a 5 hr trip to be able to get more fish but we stuck with 4. The bait fishing was fun by itself. We went out 5 miles and did catch fish. I think he brought us out a little further and we caught some more. My son in law snagged a 300 lb 6-7ft Dusky Shark that was truly incredible to watch!!!!!

5 Hour Summer Trip - 1:00 PM on July 15, 2025 • 6 adults • 1 child
This crew worked hard to get us on the water and get fish in the boat! We had an inexperienced group with a wide range of ages (11-78) and the crew was patient and very helpful. Everyone landed fish and had a great time! Would 100% book this crew (Capt. Tim and 1st Mate Andy) everytime!
