Yvonne Foerg5.0VerifiedPerfect Day in January 2026
Half Day Trip (4-5hrs) on January 17, 2026 • 2 adultsCaptain Larson made our day of fishing relaxing and fun! He knew what kind of fish was bitting by the way the pole was acting. Since we flew to Florida he suggested we go to Chuck’s Seafood in Fort Pierce, they will cook it for you, which was a great experience. Chuck’s did an excellent on preparing the fish!

Half Day Trip (4-5hrs) on May 23, 2024 • 3 adultsI wanted to plan a great fishing trip for my parents who are in their late 70s to target snook. The captain worked very hard all morning to make sure we each caught fish and had a great time! We can’t wait to set up another trip in the future with him… Highly recommend this captain! Great boat and equipment.
