Great Fishing Trip With Capt. Stephen
3 Hour Family Time Trip on October 7, 20253 adults
Great fishing trip with my daughter and her boyfriend. We did some off shore ocean trolling and some bay fishing. We caught a nice 31" King Mackrel which fed the whole family. We also caught a variety of smaller fish and a small shark that were no keepers. Great day on the boat! Capt. Stephen was great. Very knowledgeable, helpful an fun. Easily the best Captain we have had Gulf Coast fishing. I would highly recommend him for family type 2-3 hour trips-like ours. Also he is quite experienced-so if you like full day off shore fishing, I'm sure he would be great at that also.

4hr Captains Choice on August 11, 2025
This fishing trip was an absolute blast! When looking to book for my family of 4 (2 kids 9,13) I had multiple questions and before even booking Steve was so nice and took time out to call and answer the many questions and was looking forward to talking fish with my youngest. We weren't sure about weather leading up and he stayed in continual contact incase there was a problem luckily we were able to get out there. When it comes to his kindness and patience with enthusiastic kids he has phenomenal! I would absolutely come back and recommend him to everyone! Extremely knowledgeable, nice, safe and patient with everyone! If its for adults or especially families he is my #1 recommendation! Thank you Captaon Steve!!!!

4hr Captains Choice on October 14, 2025
I can't say enough good about Captain Steve, his boat, and his service. This is the best charter we have ever taken and we've been on a few. He had us on the fish from our first stop until we headed into shore and we caught all kinds of fish. Unfortunately many of them weren't in season but they were fun to catch. We also took a cooler full home for dinner. In my opinion, don't even debate on who to book, just book with Captain Steve. You will not regret it. The only downside was that we were all too busy catching fish to take many pictures! We kept Captain Steve hopping!

If you have a kid that loves to fish, this is where you go. I’ve been on many charters and this is by far the best ever. I normally am not the person that leaves reviews but I this one is as deserving as it gets. If you want memories with your children and friends you’ll definitely get some great ones here!! Take lots of pics, cause you’re going to have a great time!! Thanks so much Captain and we’ll definitely be seeing you again.

Half day trip with captain Steve
4 Hour Inshore on March 25, 2025
Overall Experience was exceptional! Original charter day was Monday but due to weather captain Steve called 48 hours earlier to let me know he had reserved Tuesday morning for us. Day of charter Captain Steve put us on fish within 30 minutes. While we were catching fish and would have been easy to stay there all day Captain Steve moved to give the kids a different experience with jigging and caught even more fish! Before the day ended he wanted to give the boys an experience to remember and rigged up to do a catch and release on big fish on light tackle! Start to finish experience was top notch! The kids have been on many charters and typically they ask when we are going back to the dock today the kids where asking of the could go the full day! I have already recommended Captain Steve to friends heading to the area!
