We had an amazing first experience with captain Chris and firs mate Kathy. They are very experienced and knowledgeable about what they do. As soon as we got bait out we were reeling them. we caught ou limit for the day. I wouls highly recommend their charer to anyone. Already planning our next chaeter with them.
thank you guys so much. Look forward to seeing you again. 
my teen son caught limit on cobia and mackerel. the captain and mate were amazing. he is experienced fisher, so they let him do his thing, but put him in all the right spots. we will use this group again!!! would recommend to everyone!
look forward to seeing you guys again! 
Even though the seas were rougher than expected, they got us on the fish right away and the action was pretty non-stop. They kept us equipped even though the sharks were hungry. We caught a bunch of beautiful large red snapper’s. Even with the rough seas, we had a great time!
thanks Steve. Hope to see you again.
thanks!
Captain Chris and his shipmate (c)Kathy were absolutely perfect. They were professional, courteous, crystal clear on instructions, and as the trip went on it honestly felt more like a family outing rather than them working for us. Will definitely be booking with them again because of this wonderful experience! We also were the first and most successful charter to catch baitfish, at least that’s what we heard over the radio! 20/10!
Thanks Joshua!
