What an awesome day!
4 Hour Trip – Inshore - 12:00 PM on July 3, 20267 adults1 child

We booked this trip to celebrate my son's birthday, and it couldn't have turned out any better. We had the whole family with us—grandparents, uncles, cousins, everyone—and the crew made us all feel right at home. They were incredibly patient, taking the time to show my son and my wife how to use the gear and making sure everyone had a chance to get in on the action. Between all the laughs, the stories they shared, and the nonstop fishing, it was one of those days our family will remember for a long time. Best of all, we caught a ton of fish! The crew worked hard to keep us on them all day, and you could tell they genuinely wanted everyone to have a great experience. Thanks for giving my son a birthday he'll never forget. We can't wait to come back and do it again!

Best fishing trip, huge success
12 Hour Trip – Offshore on June 28, 202612 adults

Capt Gary and his crew were awesome. They are super fun, professional, and nice. “Nobody on this boat wants to catch fish more than we do,” they said, and they were right! We set out to catch tuna, and they delivered. We reeled in three 60-lb yellowtails all at once. Amazing! Truly unforgettable day.

Annual family fishing trip.
4 Hour Trip – Inshore on September 3, 20259 adults

Unforgettable Family Fishing Trip with Captain Bruce & Steve! We had an amazing day on the water with Captain Bruce and Steve aboard the Michael D Sport Fishing Charter! Our family (all adults, no young kids) had been looking forward to this trip, and it completely lived up to the hype. Captain Bruce was experienced, organized, and made sure everything ran smoothly from start to finish. Steve was just as awesome — super helpful, funny, and full of great fishing tips. Their teamwork and energy made the whole day feel easy, relaxed, and fun. We caught plenty of fish, enjoyed beautiful views, and had a blast the entire time. The boat was in great condition, very clean and comfortable. Whether you're an experienced angler or just looking for a fun day with family, this charter is a must. Highly recommend Captain Bruce, Steve, and the Michael D team — we’ll definitely be back

Unforgettable First Sea Fishing Trip
4 Hour Trip – Inshore - 12:00 PM on August 30, 20257 adults

We had an absolutely amazing time with Captain Gary and Steve on our very first sea fishing trip! From the moment we set out, the experience was nonstop action - we were catching fish one after another, it felt like the excitement never slowed down. Both Gary and Steve made the whole experience smooth and enjoyable, sharing their deep knowledge of the waters and giving us tips along the way. They truly made us feel comfortable as beginners, and their expertise showed in how effortlessly they guided us through the day. Our group couldn’t stop smiling and laughing, and we left with not only plenty of fish but also great memories. If you’re looking for a fun, action-packed, and memorable fishing trip with captains who really know their stuff, we couldn’t recommend Gary and Steve more highly!
