    Great Family Experience

    4 Hour Trip – Inshore Fishing on February 28, 2026 • 5 adults

    Stephen was awesome. I am a little impatient along with my daughter and thought we would be bored, but Stephen knew the hot spots to fish and were were catching nice size fish left and right. We had a family of 5 and everyone and we had so much fun and so much fish. Stephen cleaned the fish and we took them to Lock and Key with our fish were the cooked them to our request. Truly the way to go for taste and affordability. I'm not big into fishing, but I would do this everyday if I could. We caught so many fish we had extra time so we went to the sandbar and found awesome shells, starfish, sea urchins, and watch dolphins. Well worth the family experience.

    We had a blast!

    4 Hr Nearshore Fishing Trip on April 24, 2025 • 2 adults

    We had originally planned a nearshore trip but that changed to inshore because of the wind. I was disappointed at first because I really wanted nearshore but Stephen put the wife on two nice reds. We continued to catch nice snook for the rest of the trip and had so much fun. I will book with Stephen again.

    Wonderful Fishing Experience with Addicted Outdoors!

    4 Hour Trip – Inshore Fishing on October 27, 2023 • 4 adults

    We recently had the most incredible fishing experience with Captain Steve Benner on his Addicted Outdoors fishing charter! From start to finish, the trip was nothing short of amazing. We set out on a memorable adventure, and it exceeded all of our expectations. Captain Steve is an absolute pro when it comes to navigating the waters and finding the best fishing spots. His knowledge of the local area and the habits of the fish is truly impressive. He made the entire experience not only enjoyable but educational, as he shared insights and tips about the species we were targeting. The highlight of the trip was undoubtedly the incredible variety of fish we caught. Sea trout, gag grouper, and snook – some we could keep and some we had to return to the ocean. We even snagged a puffer fish which was neat to see in person before putting him back! Captain Steve's expertise and patience were evident as he helped us reel in these remarkable fish. It was evident that he truly cares about the well-being of the environment and practices responsible, sustainable fishing. Being able to take home our catch and make an amazing fish dinner was fantastic! The boat and equipment were top-notch, ensuring our safety and comfort throughout the trip. Everything was well-maintained and in excellent condition. Captain Steve's attention to detail and commitment to providing a fantastic experience for his clients is undeniable. What really stood out, though, was Captain Steve's friendly and accommodating nature. He made sure we were comfortable and having a great time, and he was more than happy to share stories, insights, and laughter, making the whole day feel like an adventure with an old friend. If you're looking for an unforgettable fishing experience in the area, I wholeheartedly recommend Captain Steve Benner’s Addicted Outdoors fishing charter. Whether you're a seasoned angler or a beginner, you're in for a treat. This was a trip that we all made wonderful memories on, and we can't wait to return for another incredible day on the water with Captain Steve. Thanks for the memories and the fantastic fish, Captain Steve!

Good fun had by all
6 Hr. Tarpon Fishing Trip on September 8, 2026 • 3 adults

The Captain was on time and ready to go. Hit a little rain while fishing for the bait but they hit good and fast. The tarpon on the other hand didn't feel like eating today. Not for a lack of trying. The bull sharks on the other hand we got a few of them. We all had a great time.
