The goal was to catch fish for my 7-year-old - with the caveat that it was his first saltwater trip. Capt. Mike was very comforting and flexible regarding the trip accommodations. We caught a ton of fish and had a blast. Mike is very knowledgeable and helped answer no less than a billion questions from my inquisitive 7-year-old. 10 out of 10 would recommend.
Thank you Jeff... Getting such a nice note from a fellow charter captain means a lot. I look forward to having you guys back out again!
Thank you Steven! It was great having you and the family out! Happy Father's Day!

This was a birthday gift for my dad and we had a great time! Mike was absolutely amazing and was so attentive to my parents and I! He found us some great spots to consistently catch fish. If i ever go fishing again, I'll definitely be rebooking with Mike!
Thanks Ashley! You guys were great. I'm happy your dad had a fun birthday fishing trip!!
We all had a great time on the water! We each caught fish and the captain was very friendly and made sure to keep us on fish! He also did all the tackle and netting and just made sure everyone had a line in the water always!
Thanks Patrick! You guys were a blast to have out. I'm glad everyone had a good time. Hopefully the Patio Bar kept the good vibes going afterwards!
Took the family out for a fishing trip and had a great experience from start to finish. Boat was clean, stable, and well- maintained, perfect for a family of 4. Captain mike was great and accommodating to the kids- very knowledgeable. It was a relaxing enjoyable trip. Highly recommend for families!
Thank you Monica! You guys were awesome... I'm glad you had a nice day on the water!
