Took a trip with Captain Burke and had terrific action from start to finish. You won’t find a more courteous and professional guide. Communication before, during, and after our trip was fantastic and it went way beyond “fishing talk”. Captain Burke was willing to go above and beyond to see that we had truly memorable morning in beautiful natural surroundings away from the hustle and bustle of the theme parks. I wouldn’t hesitate to fish again, and again, and again aboard this fine Veteran owned vessel.
Thank you very much, I definitely appreciate your business and friendship. it was an totally awesome morning.
Spent yesterday on a 4-hour fishing trip on the St Johns River with my Grandson and Son in Law guided by James Burke. We had a great time and caught several different kinds of fish. One was a 3.5 lb tilapia. James was a blast and knows the river like the back of his hand. We will book with James again in the future. Quality time.
Thanks Michael for allowing me to serve you, and make a memorable experience for you, Larry, and brac, it was fun when we hit those Tilapia beds. Larry started out slow but finished well 😆 I definitely look forward in next year.
captain james was awesome to fish with very informative on the area and everything fishing and history and knew how to put guys on fish either guy that already knew how to fish and someone new to it and had a blast i would recommend james to all my friends and other anglers 10 out of 10 if i come back this way i would book with him again
Brian and LT the pleasure wss mine. i definitely like my Florida heritage and implementing to everyone whom comes abroad. thanks for your kindness and supporting our troops in the armed forces. It was a blast today!
The trip was amazing!! he helped us on our first charter trip and even let my son bass fish, which wasn’t included in our package! he took us to a few different locations were we all caught so many fish! even a Gar!! we highly recommend and will definitely be back on our next vacation to Florida! thank you !
Totally awesome day I couldn't have said better. Thank you for booking with me.
Captain Burke provided a professional guided bass fishing 🎣 outing even though weather was inclement. Captain Burke put us on fish for four hours and even with 20mph winds, kept the boat positioned so both my son and I could work the waters.
Thanks Alan, I loved every minute of it. I would love to do it again with you and Steve.
