    Great time!

    4 Hour Trip – Nearshore (PM) on October 24, 2024 • 2 adults

    My wife and I booked a private charter and couldn't have been more satisfied. We did a nearshore trip. Next time we will do more offshore. Captain Dave and First Mate Corey were very personable and a lot of fun. I will request them again. Well worth the price. Also learned a lot from there experince.

    Fun trip

    Shark Trip - 1:00 PM on June 2, 2026 • 5 adults

    Our family had a good time. The crew was very friendly and knowledgeable. Unfortunately, we were not able to catch a lot of sharks. We did manage to catch a couple of baby sharks. All in all, it was a very fun trip and we would recommend it to others!
