My husband and son went fishing with Top Notch and had a wonderful experience! Great with kids and worked tirelessly to ensure they had a great experience. Would highly recommend!
Hope you guys enjoy your fresh mahi dinner!
Our morning charter with Captain Bill was simply perfection 👌 We arrived early and he was ready for us. The ride out and the views were spectacular, and once we arrived, my husband had a fish on in 2 minutes. In fact, we caught so many, we actually had to throw some back! Captain Bill definitely ticked that box on bucket list with his knowledge and personality, and we will definitely be back for a full day trip with him in the future!
It was a pleasure meeting and fishing with you guys! Glad you enjoyed the fish! Enjoy the rest of your Vacation!
Went out with Captain Bill this morning. Weather patterns had shifted and changed our plans a bit but he gave us options on what we could do keeping our comfort level where it needed to be with the rough water. He was very attentive to everyone in the boat whether it was a child or an adult. Caught a bunch of sharks including one that was probably 8-9 feet long as well as some other species of fish. This guy knows what he’s doing and it’s very apparent he loves what he does. Highly recommend this charter if you’re looking to fish in Marathon!!!!
Let’s do it again next year! Thank you!
Captain Bill is the man! My son had always wanted to catch a Mahi and Bill was relentless in his efforts! Slow start as we had to go deeper and deeper to find a school. We hit two spots where we found schools of mahi, it was an absolute frenzy! My reeled in a 25 and 15lber and many more! Bill was great with my son and treated him as one of his own. Unforgettable trip and I highly recommend Captain Bill for your next charter. Truly a dream come true!
Y’all were a blast to have on the boat. Hopefully, we can do it again sometime soon! 
Spent 6 hours with Bill and our 3 boys ages 19,18,15. We visited several reefs and caught mangrove snapper, grouper, mutton snapper for dinner. Bill then took us for some rec fishing on a few wrecks and we caught barracuda and a few sharks. Had several other big bites that unfortunately broke the line. The tax man also collected a few. We were joined by a marine biologist who taught us about her work and allowed us to tag a fish. We have taken several charters over the years and this was our best trip by far. Bills boat is meticulous and he worked hard to create an amazing experience for our family. It was a wonderful day!
Hopefully y’all enjoyed the snapper for dinner!
