Sharks, sting rays, and dolphins!
3 Hour Trip – Kids Fishing (AM) on June 10, 2026 • 2 adults • 4 children

June 10th we went out with Captain Chris at 8am and had a truly amazing time. It was me, my 12 and 9 yr old boys and my friend and his 11 and 8 yr old boys. Captain walked the boys through exactly what to do and helped guide them when they had a fish on the line. We caught 4-5 sharks ranging from 2’ - 4’+ and 2 sting rays 2-3’ in diameter. On the way back to the dock we met a pod of dolphins and stopped to observe them. It was so cool. The boys have said this is the best part of our vacation. Thanks again Captain Chris! Awesome boat and equipment. Your wealth of knowledge and guidance with the kids made the trip and memories very special.

Best Family Fishing Trip with 3 and 5 year old
3 Hour Trip – Kids Fishing (AM) on May 29, 2026 • 2 adults • 2 children

I always wanted to get my kids out making memories fishing like I did at their age. Captain Chris definitely delivered, and had the kids having fun every step of the way. From taking a small detour to watch a pod of dolphins. To ensuring the kids where involved even when it came to baiting. My kids where's laughing and having fun the whole time. When the hits started coming he made sure the whole family was having fun. Helping our smaller anglers reel in their catch to making sure me and my wife where doing exactly what we needed to do. I can definitely say we had the greatest time.

Amazing day on water with Captain Chris
4 Hour Trip – Inshore - 12:00 PM on June 29, 2026 • 2 adults

We were promised that we would catch fish and within 10 minutes of getting on boat first shark was hooked. We caught sharks and stingrays all afternoon. Captain Chris was very engaged and taught us quickly the way to use the equipment that was provided for the trip. He was encouraging and it made for a very fun afternoon. Capped off the day with a cruise around to look for dolphins with amazing results.

Great charter for all levels!
4 Hour Trip – Inshore on June 6, 2026 • 3 adults

Capt. Chris did a great job putting us on some keeper fish! He communicated good before the trip and was very flexible to our changing schedule. He was on time and we had lines in the water within 25 minutes. He gave us plenty of tips and did a great job cleaning our catch. If you are looking to limit out hes not your guy, but if tou want to fish with an experienced Captain who cares about your experience, he us your man!

    Chris was awesome, even though the fishing was slow we still had a great time. You could tell that he was a very smart and good fisherman, the fish just didn’t want to bite today which was not his fault. Overall me and my buddy had an amazing time and would definitely recommend.

    The whole family had an amazing time with Captain Chris. We have 4 kids ages 7-14 and Chris engaged well with each of them and made it a fun, unforgettable experience. He showed them how to reel and supported them bringing in multiple sharks and stingrays. He was patient and answered all the questions the kids had. He was professional and easy to work with - I highly recommend.

    It was an amazing experience from start to finish. The captain asked what I wanted to catch the moment I step foot on the boat. I simply said something to keep. Man did he DELIVER! My wife and I caught enough fish to eat as well as a lifetime memory. We had a BLAST and learned so much from our captains experience and guidance. 10/10
