Great fishing trip!!!

Half Day Offshore on April 22, 2026 • 4 adults

Captain Justin and his mate John were excellent guys, very professional and knowledgeable. We were able to catch a good amount of fish, one which was a 55 pound king fish that was 52 inches and also caught some other great fish. The boat ride was great, perfect size boat. The guys were very friendly and really helpful while knowing exactly what they were doing. We will 1000% book a fishing trip with Justin again the next time we come to Florida. Thanks again! Aiden, Manny, Will & Bob

1 awesome trip

Half day Nearshore on March 25, 2026 • 4 adults

Booked a 5 hr near shore trip and capt Justin and mate John didn't disappoint. Probably 30 to 40 fish that were kept and brought back to the dock. On way back in capt Justin saw what he thought was a bait ball but cone yo find out was a school of jack cravelle. We hooked into one and for the next 20 to 30 minutes I fought this 40 to 50 pound jack until I landed it. What a battle and what a personal best for me. Gonna DEFINITELY BOOK with captain Justin and 1st mate John again and doing a deep sea trip next time. Thank so much captain for an awesome time. Can't wait till next time.

Great Family Fishing Trip

Half day Nearshore on April 8, 2026 • 2 adults • 3 children

The fishing was slow due to the heavy rains this week but Justin and John didnt give up and put us on the fish. They were great! They made sure everyone hooked up on fish and were great with my boys! They were very knowledgeable, helpful, and patient. My boys are 11,9 and 6 and have all requested we go again the next time we come down. Thank you for a great day fishing!

Great trip with Bottoms Ups

Half day Nearshore on April 2, 2026 • 3 adults • 2 children

Had a great morning with Justin and Jon. We had originally wanted an off shore but due to high tides we were in shore. They reached out and warned us in advance and we a still opted to go. Glad we did! Our 11 and 8 year old (girls!) had a blast. As did our 75 year old father. We didn’t have the greatest of weather but still caught lots of fish and had a great trip! Would definitely book again. Excited to enjoy our catch tonight at dinner!!
