    Good trip

    6 Hour Trip – Fishing Adventure on August 8, 2026 • 8 adults

    The trip was successful. The deckhands were great! However, the time to get out and start fishing took half of our trip. And the captain was standoffish.

    Fishing trip!!

    6 Hour Trip – Fishing Adventure on August 16, 2025 • 6 adults

    We had an absolutely incredible fishing trip thanks to our amazing captain Cameron and Remi! From start to finish, the day was perfect – the weather was beautiful, the boat and equipment were top-notch, and the atmosphere was fun and professional. Our captain was outstanding – experienced, friendly, and knew exactly where to go to find the fish. We caught snapper and other great catches throughout the day. Remi was also fantastic – super helpful, knowledgeable, and made the whole experience even more enjoyable. If you're looking for an unforgettable fishing trip with a skilled crew who truly know what they’re doing, look no further. Highly recommend!

    6 Hour Fishing Trip

    4 Hour Trip – Family Adventure (AM) on September 25, 2025 • 18 adults

    We had an amazing time with Capt. Jason and his 2 mates. They were extremely accommodating to what we wanted out of our fishing trip even though the weather was not as cooperative as we thought it would be. We still went out and caught fish, just what we hoped for. We had a party of 18 people and everyone had an absolute blast. Thank you for such a great experience! We will definitely be booking with them again!

    Despite the elements, they did a great job

    4 Hour Trip – Family Adventure (AM) on June 6, 2024 • 8 adults • 4 children

    What a find and great trip. There were challenges with waves, current, and wind going 3 different directions and we had to move the boat a few times to find the right spots. The crew did an amazing job and we caught enough fish to feed 11 back on land that night. My 10 year old daughter out fished the whole boat catching 9 fish just herself! Great trip with so many memories. Thanks!
