    Absolute blast

    3 Hour Trip (PM) on July 16, 2026 • 3 adults • 2 children

    Me and my sons went on a 3 hour trip. once the lines were dropped we had the 1st fish on in about 10 minutes. other than few pauses here and there me and the boys were continually reeling fish in. The 9 and 11 year had a blast and were so tired from reeling fish in. They napped on the way back in.

    3 hour trip with captain shawn

    3 Hour Trip inshore on February 19, 2023 • 2 adults

    I booked this trip as a first time trip to fish with my boyfriend for the first time. Wasn’t expecting much due to the weather and temperature of the water but Shawn really made every minute exceptionally fun. Always changing up the spot to fish. Keeping us comfortable the Entire time. We took some snacks and an extra coat and it was great! He is extremely professional and knowledgeable at what he does. We didn’t catch anything. But he took us whale watching and we seen dolphins. It was only a 3 hour trip but he made sure we made the most of it. I would highly recommend shawn and his boat. He truly cares about you as a customer verses the money. Of course he needs to make money but he really made us feel like family. Thank you Shawn. We will see you when it’s warm.
