The charter operation canceled -2 days after the trip date.
The crews great efforts to get us on fish and there concern to make our experience special was evident. The mates ability to manage the deck was outstanding. Nathanal boldly talked about his beliefs in our Father to my son and me becuase we made ourselves open to Him. The importance of excursion like this is not how many fish you catch, we caught enough, but it is the time spent talking and sharing His light with others. Praise God for one of the most memerable days of our lives. The creater of the Gulf and the abundance of it was evindent!
We had a great time fishing with the group we went out with. The captain and both deck hands were phenomenal! These guys worked their tails off to make sure everyone was taken care of and had a great experience. The best part is we all caught plenty of fish! Lots of grouper and snapper. I would highly recommend the boat and crew if you want guys that know what they’re doing and a captain that will put you on fish. Bonus: AC and a bathroom!
“We had an excellent time deep sea fishing. The crew was professional, friendly, and made the entire trip enjoyable from start to finish. The boat was clean, well-organized, and we caught plenty of fish. They were helpful with everything, especially for beginners, and made sure everyone had a great experience. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a fun and memorable day on the water.”
Great group of guys! super helpful crew, and all around fun time! second trip out with them and would recommend to anyone for great fishing and making memories with friends and family.
