Matt Ross5.0VerifiedCaptain Curtis makes it happen!
6 Hour Trip (AM) on September 19, 2026 • 4 adults • 2 childrencaptain called lettkng me know the night before that the boat wasnt running right and asked if we could reschdule for the next morning. i had no problem woth that guven we would be available! he was able to get it going the next morning and we were off. Trolled and caught nearly 4 limits of spanish mackerel. Unfortunately the dolphins decided to join us and messed up the bottom fishing. still came home with a pile of fish! Captain Curtis had to do double time as his normal first mate was not there and his fill in wasnt as familiar with the fishing deck mate role. captain was great from driving and putting us on the spots to climbing down from the bridge to help us set poles. great first experience of deep sea fishing just felt bad for the captain having to fullfil two roles.

5 Hour Trip (PM) on July 15, 2026 • 6 adultsCaptain Bebo is very nice, deckhand Bracktson busted his butt to make sure we all had baits and handled our fish. Being able to sit inside when needed a break was very awesome. Captain put us on fish all day. Would do again!!

Heather Pattison4.0VerifiedFamily Fishing Trip
8 Hour Trip on June 20, 2026 • 4 adultsOur family went on the 8 hour fishing trip. We left dock right on time and had plenty of room for food and personal items. The Catain and Deckhand were both nice and helpful. The Deckhand was on top of baiting and replacing the occasional snapped line due to some heavy fish. We enjoyed our time and caught several Snapper fish. Long day for us but worth it!

Ronnie & Nemo
3 Hour Bay Fishing/Trolling Trip on September 4, 2025 • 6 adults • 1 childThese guys were awesome! Nemo came with the banter while steering the ship and Ronnie helped everyone (including our 4yo) catch a fish! Our family had a wonderful time. The company was great and the hard work and determination for a great experience was shown from start to finish! Ronnie prepped our catch at the end and we all celebrated with a wonderful meal, best fish prep we’ve had the 3 years we have been coming! Thank you all so much for an amazing day!
