Mark Houston5.0VerifiedIndiana vacationers
Shark Fishing on July 28, 2026 • 6 adults • 2 childrenSo, we’re from Indiana, we book these guys, and can’t tell you how awesome they are! Me, my son, my father and best friend fish daily back home, we show up half hour late cuz of Burger King, there I said it, and these two young men just absolutely blew us away. From their kind, forgiving demeanor, to their vast amount of angling knowledge, they just kept making things better. We caught two great fish, one big one little, and they even stayed a half hour late so we made sure to keep trying for more. And to me, that’s irreplaceable, because it wasn’t their fault we missed the first half hour. That’s integrity at its finest, and just plain good business!!!

2 Hour Inshore Fishing/Eco Tour on September 1, 2025 • 4 adults • 1 childJohn and Martin were excellent! Even though it was windy, they were able to put us on some fish. They stayed out a little longer than our booked time so that we would get into some action. The sunset was amazing. We saw manatee and dolphin We couldn’t have asked for a better time out on the water. We’re coming back in October.!
David Hays5.0What an Awesome fishing trip!
6 Hour (Nearshore) on June 28, 2024When it comes to fishing, anyone can have a boat and some fishing rods! But Captain John is one of the best! Not only does he have the equipment, but his knowledge of how to fish and where all the secret spots are is phenomenal! What makes it Even better is his personality, very friendly and polite always wanting his customer to have the best trip possible! Believe me, I’ve been on some charters that I wish I had never booked but with captain John it’s always a great time!
Caroline Tinsley5.0VerifiedAwesome time!!

Aaron Keel5.0Night Trip
4 Hour Inshore/Sunset Tour on November 3, 2023Capt. Keel accommodated to my schedule as I was not able to make his normal trip times. After speaking with him, he was kind enough to offer taking me and my friend on a night charter. He was very knowledgeable and we were able to catch a load of redfish and trout.

Captain John and his First Mate were fantastic. John had a very specific plan to put us onto as many fish as possible. He and his First Mate were extremely helpful and friendly. We were blessed to meet them, had a great time fishing and enjoyed a terrific evening on the water. John filleted the fish back at the dock for us. We would absolutely go back out with him in the future.
we had a great time, and highly recommend this outfitter, very personable, professional and will make your trip a successful one with great memories and not to mention LOTS OF FISH!!!! highly recommend , we will be back !!!
