Reef 1-5 miles offshore
Being from a land locked state, we wanted an ocean experience to remember. Captain Dan and mate Law provided just that. We we went about 5 miles out on some 2-4 foot waves which was like a Water Roller Coaster, laughing all the way. Caught many Yellow Fin Snappers, only able to keep one, impressed with Dan checking the length to stay within the regulation. Moved to a couple places by the bridges, and caught a few more species to round out the best time. Thanks!

The captain is very passionate about fishing and dedicated to getting the charter on fish. We caught so many fish we stopped counting.

Special 4 hour trip for Chris Andersen
Our captain was fantastic, had a great day planned for a group that wanted to reel in some fish, snorkel and catch the sunset. Knowledgeable, friendly and very patient with our crew. We had a blast and even caught some PB’s as my son would say! Thank you for such a great day.

Nice half day trip with Dan our captain. He did his best to find us fish and he did even though the weather was not so good and we could not go out to the reef.

Reef 1-5 miles offshore
We had the best time with our captain, who is also a magician. He had the best jokes and was patient with our kids who needed help with putting the bait on and casting. We caught enough to have a great dinner with plenty of fish left over for next time. Highly recommend this charter!
