    Absolutely Fantastic

    Inshore/Offshore 8 hours on October 21, 2026 • 3 adults

    My son and I had a full day on the water with Art yesterday, and it was fantastic. From early morning fishing the Tuna spots in the gulf stream, to fishing the flat channels at Stiltsville and fishing a wreck, we had the most wonderful day catching fish throughout. My son was delighted with his first baracudda, and those big snapper teally put up a fight on lighter gear. Such a shame we lost our big shark at the end if the day, but we are already planning to come back for him next year! Thank you Art, see you soon captain!

    11 huge fish in just a couple hours!!

    Inshore/Offshore 4 hours on June 11, 2026

    Arturo made my son's dream come true.. not only did he help him catch a Mahi Mahi but he broke it down from A to Z so we can find our own next time - everything from finding the correct bait fish to the areas they love.. even down to following birds that were likely feeding themeslves on schools of fish that were also being hunted by the Mahi Mahi.. Was such an abundance of fish in such a short period of time.. so much action and we have been eating like Kings since.. Even almost got a Bull Shark but it bit the hook in half and escaped with our bait! Such a smart, cool and hard working guy.. highly recommended.. will be going back for more fish soon with Captain Arturo!!

    A Fishing trip to remember!

    Tarpon on May 8, 2026 • 2 adults

    I am on a quest for 100 top world fish species and Tarpon has been evading me for years. Until I booked the charter with Arturo in Miami. Arturo brought me to few promising spots, and we had few unforgettable battles with Tarpon. One of them we caught next to a sandbar so I could have a moment with this beautiful fish I always dreamt of. Besides Tarpon we also caught Jack and Permit. Photos speak more than words! Arturo is one of the best guides I’ve been out with. Friendly, professional and achievement oriented. But most important - he is as nuts on fishing! If you are reading this review and still making up your mind - you are on the right page, he will get you on fish!

    Arturo was passionate and it was a great experienec

    Inshore/Offshore 4 hours on January 9, 2026 • 2 adults

    We were super excited for fishing with Arturo and we we loved every bit of it. It was 2 of us fishing and he did a great job in constantly having a plenty of rods in the water to catch fish. He progressed with our skill level and when he saw opportunity for a big catch he took it. Caught lots of snapper, and when a Spinner Shark came for a visit he took the opportunity to get it on a line and we caught a shark. Overall great experience and Arturo was very passionate about fishing and made it so much better.

    Fantastic day !

    Kids Go Fishing on March 25, 2026 • 2 adults

    My wife and I had a great time! Captain was very personable and polite. I asked for a day reef fishing and he did super. We first caught several feisty Nacks then later got into grouper. We caught and released a 15 lb’er. We saw porpoise and a great view of the lighthouse. I’d recommend this trip for anyone looking for a fun day. Memorable !

    Stone Crabbing and Wild-life Tour - 1:00 PM on February 14, 2026 • 2 adults • 1 child

    Capt Art was perfect, the only I saw that offered crabbing which was a cool experience. The crab taste amazing too. He was great with my 10yr old nephew so much that we requested again. The excitement my nephew had getting to fish with Capt Art again was well worth it. 11 out of 10 would recommend.

    What a day we had. We chose the child/family friendly trip and Art was really great with my 9 year old. We caught a trophy fish and lots of edible sized ones that he kindly prepped for us when we got back to shore. The boat was IMMACULATE and all equipment 1st class. we would definitely go again. We had two non fishing people on board who lived the trip - saw dolphins/sharks/pelicans. Art was gentle, highly knowledgeable and really fun. highly recommended - this has been the best fishing trip i have ever done.
