Mark was excellent! Very friendly and helpful and made sure we tried all the right spots to catch fish! Even spent a little extra time to take us in a different area. Saw dolphins as well! Would definitely choose him again!
We had a great trip with Captain Mark. Although we got no sharks biting or caught he took the extra time and effort to take us to the grass flats so our sons could still catch a few sea trout and fish a little more. We saw a few dolphins and it was a beautiful day so our time on the water was nice. Captain Mark is very friendly and we enjoyed our time with him.

Mark was great! Fantastic with 8yo grandson. Caught multiple kinds of fish. Safe, clean, comfortable (4 people) boat. eould for sure go with Mark again.
