Great Captain
8 Hour Trip on February 1, 20252 adults

I average about 12 charter trips a year and vary captains quite often. Charles is one of the hardest working captains I’ve ever booked. He adapts to the variables (weather, tides, visibility, etc) swiftly and doesn’t hesitate to shift the plan when a location or approach isn’t producing. I learned a lot along the way as well.

Great trip
8 Hour Trip on March 13, 20252 adults

Capt. Charles is very knowledgeable about the area and worked very hard to find fish. I only caught 1 fish but he put me on many snook and redfish. Not catching them was on me not him.

Night Tarpon and Dock Lights
4 Hour Trip – Night Tarpon on July 15, 2023

Charles is the man! He worked his butt off to get us on some fish during our short visit to the area. He knew exactly where to go and what to throw in order to get us some shots at tarpon and snook. Couldn’t ask for a more knowledgeable guy. His boat is also the coolest one you’ll ever set foot in. Decked out and as customized as they come. Will definitely be fishing with him again in the future!

Thanks buddy! It was a pleasure having you and Beau on the skiff.
