We booked a 3-hour morning fishing trip with Captain Ethan for my son's 18th birthday, and it was absolutely fantastic! My son and two of his friends had an unforgettable experience. Captain Ethan was friendly, professional, and incredibly knowledgeable about the local waters and fishing spots. His boat was clean, comfortable, and well-stocked with everything they needed. Thanks to his expertise, the boys caught numerous fish throughout the trip and had a blast doing it. What impressed me most is that they're still talking about the trip and all the fun they had. For a birthday gift, I couldn't have asked for a better experience. Captain Ethan helped create memories that will last a lifetime. If you're looking for a knowledgeable captain who works hard to put you on fish while making sure everyone has a great time, I highly recommend Captain Ethan. We'll definitely be booking another trip!

Thanks very much Jaimee! Had an awesome time with the boys!
Late Oct 2025 we booked with Captain Ethan and it was the best part of our vacation. It was myself, my husband, 7 & 12 year old boys. We caught TONS of fish and so many different types of fish I can't even remember what all we caught. Ethan knew what every fish was and he answered any questions we had about anything. He was so so wonderful and kind to my son's, he's really great with kids. There were so many times that all 4 of us were catching fish at the same time and literally catching fish after fish. Ethan is like a magician, he was taking our fish off and had us new bait on so quickly it was mind boggling. Sometimes a line would break and you'd have a new pole magically appear in your hands. He helped the boys cast out and he'd help bring them in too if needed. He was so encouraging about reeling in even if they were getting tired. We also caught 2 sharks! He let my older son reel the first one in and then my younger son reel the 2nd one in. I tried reeling our 3rd one in but mine got away. If one spot started slowing down we'd zoom to another spot. I have nothing negative to say about our trip with Ethan, it blew any expectations we had out of the water. Ethan is just a genuinely nice(not a fake kind of nice), very laid back guy who is great at what he does. My boys thought he was wonderful as well. We will always book with Ethan anytime we come back. When I asked my boys what they gave Ethan and our fishing trip from 0-10, they both said 1,000,000... worth every penny!

Thanks so much Christina! It was awesome fishing with you guys!
I booked Ethan for a family charter with two boys of mixed fishing experience. He had us on the fish immediately, hooking up ocean trout, ladyfish, catfish and pin fish. He was extremely knowledgeable of the area, constantly moving to keep us hooked up, took time to teach the inexperienced kid and engaged knowledgeably with the other one, everyone felt included and every need attended to. Would highly recommend.

Thanks Nick
First Off , Captain Ethan was outstanding!!! He definitely went the extra mile for our Family and of itself made the trip worth it, but secondly, we all cought lots of fish, from Big Red’s ,to Big Flounder to, to Speckle Trout. 7 different species of fish in all. We most certainly would and will recommend Captain Ethan at Wish upon a fish character’s and use Him again our next trip!!!

Thank you so much Tim! Looking forward to next time!

we had a great time with captian Ethan, he was so great with the kids and moved us around to different areas to get to try to catch different types of fish, we even ended up with a shark!

Thanks Jamie had fun with you guys!
