Great time with Captain Ken Carpenter!
4 Hour Trip on June 13, 2025
We had an amazing time out on the water with Captain Ken Carpenter! From start to finish, everything exceeded our expectations. The boat was clean, comfortable, and very well maintained, which made the whole experience even more enjoyable. Our kids absolutely loved the trip! it was the highlight of our vacation. We were lucky enough to catch plenty of fish, which kept everyone excited and engaged the entire time. On top of that, the weather couldn’t have been more perfect. Captain Ken was professional, friendly, and made sure we all had a great time. We would highly recommend this charter to anyone looking for a fun, family-friendly fishing adventure. We’ll definitely be back!

All Day with Captain Ken
8 Hour Trip on May 6, 2025
We had an amazing experience fishing with Captain Ken! My husband gets seasick easily, so we stayed in the bay—and it turned out to be perfect. We caught plenty of trout and redfish, and had such a great time the whole trip. Captain Ken was professional, knowledgeable, and incredibly accommodating. His boat was spotless, and he made sure we were comfortable the entire time. He even had music playing and let us choose what we wanted to listen to, which made the trip even more enjoyable. One of the best parts—he cleaned all of our fish for us, which was such a nice bonus! You can really tell he knows the area and the fish well. I would highly recommend this charter to anyone visiting the area. We can’t wait to book another trip with him!

Amazing time and great fun!!!
4 Hour Trip on June 11, 20253 adults
Captain Ken was amazing! We started out at 6 am catching some bait (herring and cigar minnows). Then headed to our first spot. Our first cast they were hitting right away and they were fighters! Captain Ken was amazing at getting us to some awesome spots with a great variety of fighting fish. We also saw a few pods of dolphins which was pretty cool. Thank you again so much Captain Ken! Look forward to the next time we are here so we can go with him again!

6 Hour Trip on May 18, 2025
This was a first time trip for us. Captain Ken did a great job explaining everything and making us feel comfortable. We ended up catching lots of fish including , Spanish Mackerel, King Mackerel, Mahi Mahi and this huge Trigger fish. Captain Ken cleaned the ones we could keep and we were able to take them Angler's to eat. I would highly recommend chartering with The Game Changer Charters

Great trip!
4 Hour Trip on July 26, 20255 adults
Ken was great! Had us on the water on time and pulling up bait fish within 30 minutes. Ken put us on fish within a few minutes of arriving to the first fishing spot. We’re getting interrupted by shark activity so we decided to move on. Second and third spots were a little slower, but still had good action. Great trip, would recommend!
