Full Day Trip reef fishing on April 2, 2025

Christian was fantastic and amazingly flexible, working to make sure we could still get the charter in despite high seas and crummy weather. We had charted for Monday, but the weather was horrible. Knowing we had a very limited amount of time to reschedule, Christian was able to reschedule our trip for Wednesday when it was a bit calmer and sunnier. We caught a bunch of fish, one big king fish, and a couple got away. We really had an amazing time and Christian was the key to it all! Thank you for making a trip of a lifetime even better with a bucket list fishing trip ❤️

Captain Christian knows his stuff, he taught us some effective techniques that put us on fish after fish. Although the fishing was face paced and exhilarating, the best part of the trip was the banter with Christian. I would highly recommend to anyone who’s looking to not only catch fish but also enjoy their time on the water.
