    What a wonderful experience!

    Half Day Nearshore Fishing Trip on September 21, 2026 • 3 adults

    Or family had an exciting and special day with Captain Ryan, First Mate Tigger, and Second Mate C.J. Our family was new to fishing but the crew made sure we were comfortable and setup for success. The crew was funny, patient, and knowledgeable. They made sure we caught a variety of fish and we even caught the boat's first King Mackerel! Captain Ryan was awesome and welcoming. Second Mate C.J. was supportive. They both were on top of everything, took tons of photos, and really made the day special! First Mate Tigger, Captain Ryan's trusty bird, even cheered us on and showed us all of his cool tricks! Thank you to Is That Right Sports Fishing for an awesome day. Can't wait to do it again! The Thacker family (Dustin, Alicia, and Atlas)

    Best way to celebrate son’s birthday and our 25th Wedding anniversary

    12 hr Tuna/Marlin/Mahi Trip on August 16, 2026 • 6 adults

    i would like to take the time to thank God’s greatest blessings to Captain Ryan and first mate/ newly licensed captain C.J. We were informed all throughout the week of the pending weather conditions by Captain Ryan. The weather called for gusts of winds up yo 22-24 mph all day. We decided to play it by ear and went on our 12 hour fishing adventure. Our birthday boy caught a large sized Mahi, and we were stoked to catch more. By the end of the day, the Mahi was our only catch, but our conversations and learning opportunities made up for our adventure. When we came back to the dock, Ryan announced our anniversary and played Al Green “Let’s Stay Together “. 🫶🏾 C.J. cleaned and portioned the Mahi for my birthday boy to take home. I can honestly say, these two will forever be a part of our family. Again thank you both and God Bless you.😇☺️☺️🤙🏽

    We had a wonderful experience on the Is That Right fishing trip with the crew! While it was a slow day for fishing due to the weather, my son did catch a massive red drum. Although we didn't catch any seabass to keep, the trip was a great experience for my family and friends!

    Awesome Fishing Trip: Boys Hooked, Hat Overboard!

    3/4 Day Fishing TripAM Most Popular on August 18, 2025 • 6 adults

    We had an amazing time with Captain Ryan and Mate CJ! From the very start, Capt. Ryan was quick to respond and made scheduling easy. By the time we arrived, everything was neatly prepared and ready to go. They wasted no time getting us on some great fishing spots and clearly knew the area inside and out. Both Ryan and CJ were extremely personable and took the time to explain everything along the way. They went above and beyond to include my teenage boys (15 and 16), teaching them how to set up and rig gear, and even inviting them up to the flybridge to show them what to look for. (Ryan and CJ — the boys haven’t stopped talking about the trip since, so I think you’ve got them hooked!) We walked away with plenty of fish and even better memories. We’ll definitely be booking another trip in the future. Thanks again, guys! P.S. We already ordered the old man a new hat — haha!

    June fishing trip

    Half Day Nearshore Fishing Trip AM on June 13, 2025 • 6 adults

    Dear Captain Ryan and First Mate CJ, I just wanted to send a big thank you for an unforgettable fishing trip aboard That’s Right! Your expertise, hospitality, and enthusiasm made the day truly special. Landing 14 fish was an incredible experience, and I couldn’t have done it without your guidance and skill. From start to finish, you made sure everything ran smoothly, and I really appreciated the camaraderie and fun along the way. It’s clear you both have a passion for what you do, and it made all the difference. Looking forward to another great trip in the future—until then, wishing you calm seas and tight lines! Best regards, Kim and Bill --- Let me know if you’d like any tweaks!

    Always good to be on the water

    3/4 Day Fishing TripAM Most Popular on June 19, 2025 • 2 adults • 1 child

    What a fantastic day my son and I got to experience with Ryan and CJ. The captain put us right on the targeted specie working though the wind and swells Mother Nature handed to us. None the less we got to catch 2 beautiful Cobias and get the rest experience and memories I will share with my son as he grows up. Rayan and CJ were so awesome not just as captains and first mate, but as down to earth, fun and just chill guys. I would recommend this charter to anyone looking to have fun and get an experience on the water Well done guys Munther
