Great boat and crew.
Mahi Mahi Full Day on October 28, 20236 adults
It was a good day. 21 Sea Bass, 2 large Flounder, and a nice Trigger. Captain David and First Mate Tim were top-notch. Nice boat. Great hospitality and very attentive. We had rescheduled twice for weather and work, so too late for Mahi and Tuna. We wanted to get a trip in before the end of the year, so we decided to go wreck fishing instead. I think this year we'll do a better job getting out there in time for Mahi, but certainly with this crew and boat.

Half Day Trip – Nearshore (PM) on September 18, 20222 adults
Captain James knows what he’s talking about he took us out there within 10 minutes of putting lines in the water we were pulling fish left and right controlled chaos is a good thing. Captain James and his deckhand Hunter that we had of that time knew what they were talking about and put us on the fish immediately they were friendly cared about our safety and most of all made sure that we had fun. Before I got off the boat at the end of the trip I knew that I want to take this boat out again so I hundred percent would go back out again with this crew if you’re ever in the Virginia Beach area and think about taking a boat out go with Captain James he’ll get you out there for a good fun filled day and For memories that last a lifetime

Had a sea sick fisherman, an elderly fisherman, So it was good to have Tim, the mate, who was super knowledgeable on technique, and was an absolute professional, and Dave the captain to put us on fish. I would highly recommend these guys for anyone looking to stick the freezer
