Barracudaville Charters for the win!!
Half Day Trip – Offshore on July 14, 20263 adults

Capt. Mark was absolutely awesome, he was very professional full of knowledge and didn’t mind sharing information. Definitely an all around cool guy! He took us off shore about 9-10 miles, the bite started off slow but he had a few tricks up his sleeve and in the end it paid off. While we were fishing we caught cobia, king mackerel, trigger fish, baby grouper, and numerous snapper which made for a delicious dinner! He brought us back to the dock we tied up and he cleaned and filleted our fish bagged it and sent us on our way with meat and ice. Definitely had a great experience he will absolutely be the guy we call when we vacation again!!

Amazing Captain!
3/4 Day Trip - Offshore on July 28, 20262 adults1 child

capt. Mark was amazing! my youngest got sea sick on way out to catch Barracuda and Mark turned us back around, put us in calmer waters and made a great day for the boys catching skip jack, trout, and others. He even gave my son a shirt for hanging it out and catching fish after having a tough morning being sick. We have already booked for a spring barracuda trip. thanks mark!

Only my son knows Jack....
Half Day Trip – Offshore - 1:00 PM on May 27, 20263 adults

The Captain Mark very conscientious and accommodating we booked an afternoon trip, but he saw less-than-favorable weather on the horizon. So, we started earlier than the official schedule and also adjusted locations for ocean safety. My son caught the first fish, a Jack, after that we caught catfish, trout, and a lady fish. Catching the only Jack, my son now can say "Dad, you don't know Jack".

absolutely top-notch charter in the entire region captain knows his business finds the fish
3/4 Day Trip - Offshore on November 26, 20253 adults

absolutely the best charter boat I’ve ever had in the state of Florida. Captain puts you on the fish fast and keeps putting you on the fish. Top-notch gear, top-notch captain top-notch boat. You cannot go wrong. I’ve been fishing for over 50 years never met a better captain, who knew his business and knows the area better than anyone. Captain was patient with my wife. Patient with my daughter. Patient with me. Simpy amazing. Perfect charter - perfect day.
