Team Vinson Charters 2 

Our family had an amazing time on this fishing charter! From the moment we stepped on the boat, the captain and crew made us feel welcome and ensured everyone—from the adults to the kids—had a great experience. They were knowledgeable, patient, and always willing to help with baiting hooks and casting! We caught plenty of fish, enjoyed beautiful scenery, and created memories we’ll be talking about for years. The boat was clean, comfortable, and well-equipped, making the entire trip relaxing and enjoyable. If you’re looking for a fun family-friendly fishing adventure, we highly recommend this charter. We can’t wait to come back for another trip!

Captain Donnie took our family offshore to an amazing spot for red snapper. We hooked up immediately and you could see the schools of fish 18 feet down in crystal clear water. We caught 8-10 snapper before my 7 year old started getting sea sick. This was one of those days when all the stars align and the Captain has you in the exact right spot at the exact right time. Catain Donnie, understandingly pulled up and went back inshore to help with sea sickness and got us back on great speckeled trout. He was incredible with my family. You wont find a better guide for family trips!!

As is often the case, bad weather affected our trip. Captain Donnie called the day before our trip and worked out the details. We were able to adjust the trip schedule. Once we were on the water Captain Donnie and his daughter, Candace worked hard to ensure we avoided the stoms as much as possible, caught fish, and had a good time. Even though we were the last trip of the day and those two were exhausted, they had everything ready and never made us feel rushed. We will definitely book with them again next year!

This trip was beyond expectations. i assumed we would catch a few fish, maybe some tiny ones as well. However that was not the case. From the moment i had a rod in my hand i was either catching a keeper sized fish or was getting hits. My whole crew of 6 were constantly reeling fish in. We caught our limit quick and started just catching and releasing afterwards. Donnie and his daughter are the best. looking forward to making this a yearly trip.

Fishing with Captain Don and Co-Captain Candace was an absolute pleasure from start to finish. Their professionalism, knowledge of the water, and genuine passion for fishing made the day both successful and memorable. Captain Don’s experience put us right on the fish, and Candace was fantastic—attentive, encouraging, and always ready to help, making sure everyone felt comfortable and involved. They made my grandson‘s first blue water fishing trip a very memorable experience! The boat was clean, well-equipped, and run with safety as a clear priority. Whether you’re an experienced angler or new to fishing, they take the time to make sure you have a great experience and enjoy every minute on the water. Highly recommend Vinson Fishing Charter if you’re looking for a top-notch, friendly, and successful fishing trip. We’ll absolutely be back.

my stepson Shaun and his lovely wife Tiffany had a superb afternoon trip today with Capt.Donnie snd First Mate Candace. Knowledgeable , honest good people that know how to put you on the bite. My daughter in law said she will never forget this trip. she fought a Jack Crevslle for over 30 minutes and a 3’ -4’ shark on top of red snapper limits smd giant speck studs!

Captain Donnie pulled up to his spot and we dropped down and it was hot and heavy until we limited out on the red snapper. A great trip.
