    WHAT AN EXPERIENCE!

    2 Hour Light Tackle Trip on July 16, 2026 • 3 adults • 1 child

    Sean was outstanding! His knowledge of the fish and exactly where to find them was spot on. Whenever the bite slowed down, he quickly moved us to another location and had us back on fish in no time. We caught fish at every spot we visited. If someone got hung up or tangled, Captain Sean was ready with another rod so we could keep fishing while he took care of the mess. He also had a great personality, making the trip fun, relaxed, and enjoyable from start to finish. His professionalism, preparation, and dedication to making sure everyone had a great experience really stood out. I highly recommend booking a trip with Captain Sean, and I’ll definitely be booking with him again!

    Half Day Trip – Inshore (LT) on June 9, 2026 • 2 adults • 1 child

    Sean was the best! He knew so much and was very confident in taking brand new salt water fishermen on a trip. He put us on Sea Trout right away. We fished for four hours straight and were sad to leave. My son caught more fish than me but we dont have a number, we lost count! We will most definitely will book with him again when we return to Florida. He was personable, confident, and spoke to us like we were friends for life. If youre looking for a great time, book this trip. We did the four hour inshore. We thought that flyfishing would be a bit much for a first time in the salt. If you have kids, Sean will be great. He was patient and thoughtful in his answers for all the questions we asked. Book this trip. It will be great!

    Full Day Trip– Inshore (LT) on June 8, 2026 • 2 adults

    We had an absolutely incredible inshore fishing trip with Captain Sean! From the moment we stepped onto the boat, it was clear that Captain Sean is a true professional who knows these waters inside and out. He was incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and went above and beyond to make sure both of us on board had a fantastic time and caught plenty of fish. The boat was clean, comfortable, and fully equipped with top-notch gear. Whether you are an experienced angler or a beginner, Captain Sean will tailor the trip perfectly to your skill level. We cannot recommend him highly enough and will definitely be booking another charter with him soon!

    Great trip with a great guide

    2 Hour Light Tackle Trip - 1:00 PM on May 25, 2026 • 4 adults • 2 children

    If you want to do a fishing trip with someone who truly enjoys what they do, then book with Sean. My daughter loves to fish but was born into a family of non fishers. We just wanted to give give her a chance to reel some fish in and get some pointers. The forecast was shaky the day of our reservation but Sean stayed in touch and adjusted our start time to make sure we could get on the water. He warned us fishing might not be great but he found a spot and Nora caught several fish. He gave her tips along the way and told her about all the different species. At the end he even sat with her and showed her how to tie different knots and gave her a goodie bag of baits. We could not have had a better guide and will absolutely be booking with Sean again when we are back in the area. Highly recommend, especially if you are going our with kids!

    Class Act Guide

    Special 4 hour trip for Jeffrey Mullen on April 22, 2026 • 2 adults

    Captain Sean was great. We started to fish on a tough day. Winds up and initially fishing was slow. He kept searching and at the end started catching a lot. Although the 4 hrs was up, Captain Sean continued to let us catch fish well after our finish time. He genuinely cares and takes pride in making sure you catch fish. Very personable, and conversation was very fun! Boat and equipment top notch, not beat up and old. Highly recommend if you want these things in your fishing guide. From someone whose fished all over the Southern US.

    Amazing

    Half Day Trip – Inshore (LT) on April 17, 2026 • 3 adults • 1 child

    Capt Sean does an amazing job working with his clients. From start to finish he was very informative of the species we were targeting and how to catch them. In my opinion Sean’s attitude and attention to detail for his clients is what every Charter Captain should be. We will be booking with him again. Thank you for an amazing time and see you again soon!!! 👍

    HALF DAY FLY FISHING TRIP - 12:00 PM on June 24, 2026 • 4 adults

    Sean is an excellent guide. Knowledgeable, friendly, fun, and he takes it personal when it comes to clients catching fish. From the get go we were catching, and catching, and catching! Fishing is fun, catching is a bonus - we were in bonus all day long! My sons had a great time and that was a big win for me. Highly recommend Sean.
