Half day trip!
Full Day Trip – Jetty (AM) on August 5, 20222 adults3 children

Awesome experience all the way around. Captain asked what we wanted out of this trip and I said for my kids to catch some sharks and enough fish to eat for dinner. He nailed it! Couldn’t have been happier with the boat, equipment, and crew. Very knowledgeable and friendly both captain and first mate! We were successful at all the spots we went and were catching fish when others around us weren’t.

This trip was awesome. Captain Jason had us on fish within minutes of being on the water and it never stopped! The deck hand was outstanding as well. Had a great time and will definitely be back to see these guys! Top notch outfit!
