    Top notch Captain, Great Experience!

    4 hour Striped Bass "2ppl only" on April 7, 2026 • 2 adults

    My son and I had such a great time. The captain was super friendly and knowledgeable of the fishing grounds. He put us on the fish quickly. The boat was very clean, and the gear used was in excellent working condition. He kept us out a little longer than the 4 hours we paid for, hitting all his honey holes looking for fish. It was a great time for sure. You won’t go wrong if you book this boat for a fishing trip.

    5-Star Review for Captain Skip– A Perfect Day on the Water!

    4 Hour Trip – Bay Fishing on July 21, 2025 • 3 adults • 2 children

    We had an absolutely incredible day out on the water with Captain Skip! From start to finish, everything was smooth, professional, and a whole lot of fun. He put us right on the fish—we caught over 40! (While other boats around us weren’t having as much luck!) He really knows his stuff and worked nonstop to make sure we had lines in the water constantly. He even helped us fillet a big flounder that was over the size limit—now that’s a dinner the boys won’t forget! He handled my two energetic 12-year-old boys like a pro. Patient, encouraging, and funny—he kept them engaged the whole trip. If you’re looking for a memorable charter with someone who knows the water, keeps things safe, and makes it fun for the whole family—Captain Skip is your guy. We’ll definitely be booking again!

    4 Hour Trip – Bay Fishing on July 8, 2025 • 4 adults

    Captain Skip was awesome. Great communication before, and lots of fun on the water. He definitely knows his way around the area, taking us to many spots. Nothing was biting for anyone on the water, but it wasn’t for lack of trying. Captain Skip still made sure we had a great time. Will definitely go with Lost Sailor again next time.

    Great Guy, Great Fisherman, Great Local Knowledge

    4 Hour Trip – Bay Fishing on August 14, 2024 • 3 adults

    Loved our morning with Skip! He is totally laid back, but great to talk to. I love his boat and it was perfect for our group, Skip has great local knowledge— he knew where to find the fish,and he was super skilled at keeping our lines in the water. On the way back he gave us a tour of the marinas, including the boat of a famous American billionaire— I won’t name names. Such a cool experience for my sons. We will be going out with Skip again—I highly recommend him.

    An Amazing Trip!!

    4 Hour Trip – Bay Fishing on September 11, 2024 • 1 adult

    I highly recommend!! I can’t wait to get my next trip booked! Captain Skip is a great guy and is very knowledgeable of the waters and where the fish could be. We moved to a couple areas then he got us in to a great spot where I caught lots of blues.I had the best time I didn’t want the day to end I could fish with him all day. What a blast!

great trip
4 Hour Trip – Bay Fishing on August 7, 2026 • 1 adult • 1 child

first, we messaged back amd forth with Cap. skip regarding moving out fishing time back to work better with tides and fishing. then, we had a small sanfu (my fault entwrily) as to where we wefe meeting for pick up. Cap Skip went out of his way to pick us up at a differrnet location. then we had great day of fishing and he did an awesoem job of working with us to catch fish. Coulding recommend someone better.

Reported catch:
Flounder
