fun 2-hour fishing trip

2 Hour Trip - Fish N Fun (6PM) on April 12, 2026 • 3 adults • 3 children

Captain Tom provided an outstanding fishing experience from start to finish. He was knowledgeable, patient, and clearly passionate about what he does. He did great with kids, making sure they were engaged, comfortable, and having fun the entire time. He took us to great spots and made sure everyone felt comfortable, whether experienced or new to fishing. The equipment was well-maintained, and his guidance really helped us have a successful day on the water. On top of that, he kept things fun and relaxed the entire time. Overall, it was a great trip, and I would highly recommend Captain Tom to anyone looking for a memorable fishing adventure.

Captain Tom was amazing and we caught a fish!

2 Hour Trip – Fish N Fun - 1:00 PM on March 20, 2026 • 4 adults

Over March break 2026 my teenaged son, husband and sister in law chartered a 2 hr fishing trip and was paired with Captain Tom, who was absolutely amazing! He was so patient and took us to multiple near shore locations in an attempt to hook a fish. He was so patient with us and wouldn’t let our son leave without catching a few fish.  Despite our time being up he motored the boat out to deeper waters and we ended up catching several fish including some trout and flounder! 

It was a great trip and we would definitely recommend this company and Captain Tom! We look forward to doing it again next time we are in Florida/Holmes beach!

Our captain cleaned our fish and Daiquiri Deck cooked it for us!

2 Hour Trip – Fish N Fun - 10:00 AM on May 19, 2026 • 2 adults

We had such a great time on our trip! Caption Brent was the best! It was such a great experience! I booked the trip for my Fiance, who loved to fish, and I ended up having a great time and catching fish myself! Brent didn’t end up having another trip after ours so he even stopped and let us get in the water!! I would highly recommend booking with them! If we go back we will book it again!

So many FISH!!!

3 Hour Trip – Fish N Fun - 11:00 AM on November 9, 2025 • 5 adults

We booked a charter late the noght before due to incoming weather.  Captain Jamie showed up on time and was ready.  Even with the short notice he made us feel comfortable.  Captain Jamie took us to a couple spots and immediately got us on fish.  We had a couple avid fishermen in our group and a few of us not so much.  We all caught a number of fish.  on our third spot we caught ao many types of fish it was crazy.  My husband and son, both caught puffer fish.  This charter was fabulous we will definitely be hitting up Captain Jamie the next time we are in the area.

Great afternoon on the water

3 Hour Trip Fish N Fun (4PM) on July 12, 2025 • 4 adults • 1 child

We had an excellent afternoon with Captain Danny. At our request, he gave us a quick tour around the bay to help us get familiar with the area before our boat rental the next day. He clearly explained the channels and pointed out important things to watch for. Captain Danny also taught us how to spot bait fish on the surface, which was really helpful. Afterward, he took us out to the reef, where we caught several different species and even had an exciting fight with a ray. To finish the trip, he brought us to the sandbar, where we had fun searching for shells. Highly recommend!
