⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (I wish I could give 10 stars!) Our experience with Captain Terry was nothing short of exceptional!!! From start to finish, he was professional, personable, knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate about what he does. He made sure we were comfortable the entire time, took the time to teach us the techniques we didn’t know anything about, and put us right on the fish. He really knew exactly where to go and worked hard to make sure we had an unforgettable day and let me tell you, it definitely paid off! The boat was clean and well-maintained, and the atmosphere was relaxed, fun, and welcoming. You can truly tell he cares about his clients having a meaningful and memorable experience, not just giving a successful trip. My partner and I made amazing memories out on the water and can’t wait to book again. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a fishing charter! Thanks again, Captain Terry! :)

Thank you kindly Gracie! I totally enjoyed the afternoon with you and Alex
Capt. Terry is one of the most knowledgeable Captains I’ve ever spoken to. You can tell Capt. Terry is very passionate about fishing from the minute you meet him. We caught a ton of fish and was able to mark off bucket list fish from our list! The key to success with Terry is being safe and coachable for Terry is big on safety as he should be. This was the best saltwater fishing experience I’ve ever been part of and will 1000% be booking with him again. Thanks for the success Terry and the Schneider’s are happy to call you our friend!!
We had a great time out on the water. Terri was extremely knowledgeable and put us in the right spots all day. He even taught us a new style of fishing we weren’t used to, which made the trip even more fun and rewarding. You can tell he really knows what he’s doing and genuinely wants everyone to have a great experience. We learned a lot, caught fish, and made some awesome memories. Highly recommend booking with him. We’d definitely go again.

Captain Terry knew exactly where to to take me and my wife for our first trip ever on salt water! He even took some time towards the end of our trip to drive us around so my wife could see some dolphins! We came into shore with a great experience and feel like ive made a friend on the trip in Captain Terry! His patience with teaching us technique was great, I will definitely be booking again with him when we bring our kids back in the fall!
I booked with Capt Terry because of his reputation with families and children and he did not disappoint! The group was myself, my daughter, son in law, grandaughter and grandson. It was the childrens very first fishing trip. Capt Terry knew exactly what to do to make the trip child friendly…a short boat ride, a spot out of the cold winter wind and we caught fish! Flounder, red fish, lady fish, and a couple of trout, one a trophy of 23” by my grandson. Terry and 1st mate Jill were polite, patient and encouraging. I highly recommend them for not only family trips any fishing in the Anna Maria / Cortez area.
