Rods, reels, and tackle are covered by the charter, as well as lures. Live bait is available, but be sure to ask about it ahead of time, so you know if you'll be catching it yourself.
If you're traveling with the family, you will be glad to know that kids are welcome aboard! Be sure to ask if child-sized life vests are available. Also, it's a good idea to bring drinks and snacks so that nobody gets grumpy on an empty belly!

Captain Dylan Tracey made our trip an unforgettable experience! My kids and I had an absolute blast fish the ocean for the first time. We caught speckled trout, sail catfish, and even blacktip sharks! Dylan was friendly, easy to talk to, and kept us engaged throughout the trip. He was attentive—helping bait hooks, safely releasing fish, and making sure everyone was having a great time. We couldn’t have asked for a better captain and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a fun and memorable fishing charter!
We were put on a ton of different species of fish including sharks! The captain was soo cool! Every time he saw that we weren’t catching fish as much as we should be, he had us move to a better spot. He even went as far as to climb underneath a dock to try and untangle a fish from some structure when it got snaged because he wanted us to catch it so bad! When filleting the fish he gave us some advice on how to cook some of the fish. He also played some amazing music.
We had an outstanding fishing trip with Captain Dylan! He was friendly, professional, and made the entire experience easy and enjoyable from start to finish. His equipment was top-notch, and he handled all the details—baiting the hooks, helping cast the poles when needed, and even cleaning all of our fish afterward. I highly recommend booking a trip with Captain Dylan!
Catain Dylan was excellent and personable! Very knowledgeable, kept bait on our hooks, and getting us an absolutely amazing amount of catches of several species of fish. My nephew caught a beautiful shark and I caught the biggest Snook I've ever seen in person! I would highly recommend and look forward to the next time I can book a trip with Hook and Snook charters!

We had an amazing trip with Captain Dylan! Our boys, 8 and 10, both caught speckled trout and black tip shark, so they were psyched. And Capt. Dylan was great with our whole family. I highly recommend taking a trip with him. We will definitely go out with him again next time we’re in the area.
Our Captain Dylan was not only very respectful and helpful, but very knowledgeable with the questions about fish and their habitats, all the way to history of the mainlands. We enjoyed him and the bantar on the boat we had all together. One of the things on my husband's bucket list was to catch a shark, and Dylan made it happen! We had been on charters before so we had some experience on what to expect but Dylan went above and beyond and we will be back!
we had a great morning with Captain Tracey. within the first 30 minutes, we were on the fish and stayed on him for the duration of our outing. Captain Tracey even mixed it up a little bit and threw out a line for some shark. within about 30 minutes, we were hooked on to what turned out to be a 5 foot bull shark. It was the highlight of my son‘s outing with his friend. Definitely going to use Captain Tracey again when we return in a few weeks.
The Captain was very experienced, professional and friendly! He knew the hot spots and we were catching fish almost immediately! Cant get much better than that! Communication was simple and he was very quick to respond ! overall 5 stars !
We were so busy fishing it was hard the drink beer. It was a lot of fun. Dylan put us on the fish at each spot. I would definitely book with him again. If you like catching fish book this trip.
We caught a great variety of fish which included some Personal Best fish. The time went really fast since we were catching so many fish!!!

Thank you Bill! This review means a lot and im glad i was able to make the day memorable for you guys!
Our first trip was such a success, we decided to book another. First trip we wanted stuff to eat and we were sent home with tons of fish. Most recently we wanted to go for shark and then snook and we got plenty of both! Can’t recommend Dylan any stronger. We are local and will exclusively be using Dylan from now on!!
