Great boat, captain, and half day on the water
Half Day Trip (AM) on December 29, 20254 adults2 children

We ended up with Captain Mike on a beautiful tournament Fountain boat. With 4 kids and 2 adults on-board, Captain Mike got us to the reef quickly and on some smaller yellowtail. He was terrific helping the kids bait, teaching some free line techniques, learning about the fishery, and most importantly landing some fish. Captain was diligent in moving to another spot later during the morning in search of larger fish. We found them including a large nassau grouper; a highlight for our crew. A great time was had by all! We would charter with them again next time in the Keys.

Alex was awesome!
3 hour on November 20, 20254 adults

Alex was our captain for the trip. Iwas a great trip to the sand bars in the back bay. Fishing was fast and a variety. Alex was great at teaching is the methods to catch fish. His is experience is awe-inspiring. Everytime he touched a rod to show us what to do he pulled in a fish!
