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.
I was looking for a great way to spend a morning with my sons and booked last minute. We have a little fishing experience and we are always looking to learn more. We had the perfect blend of a relaxing morning on the water, catching lots of fish, and learning! Captain was very personable and had a great depth of knowledge to share with us.
Captain Mark took myself, my wife, and my 9 year old step son. he made it fun and interactive for everyone and we caught a bonnet head to top it off! This was a perfect little morning trip at a reasonable price. I will be looking to book next time Im in the area.
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!
The captain arrived early, which gave us the chance to enjoy a beautiful sunrise before heading out. We caught plenty of fish and even got to bring some home. I had a great time and would definitely book again.
