We were a family of 5, comfortable accommodations. Ryan and Jacob were first mates and made the trip wonderful, very personable and fun. Although we didn't get any fish to keep those 2 young men worked hard to try to get us a snapper. My only recommendation would be to have some alternative bait options if it isn't working but as a fisherwoman I understand some days it's just not your day π and personally my fault, 2 of us got motion sick pretty bad so I'd prepare for that ahead of time. I'm kicking myself for not taking some medication before hand. But thank you for the trip and thanks again for first mate's, you guys really made the trip!

We took our older grandkids (13, 15, and 18) out for a day on the water and to do some fishing. The old saying beginners' luck sure held out. The youngest who had never been on the water before Casey hauled in several nice redfish, beating her brothers out both in number and size. Captain Jim and his deckhand Jacob made the day so special. The kids each took a turn driving the boat on the way back to the dock. We have already booked a longer trip for summer vacation. See you guys in June.

Me and my family went out with the captain and his deckhand and they did their job by getting us some big red fish and some big sharks but to top it all the boat was nice and clean it also had a nice bathroom for my family to use and a bed area for my kids to sleep when they got tired
