Captain Ryan was great, from the second we stepped on his boat to the second we left, he had us grinning from ear to ear. He's truly someone that loves what he does and I would highly recommend. We will be coming back to him in the future. Oh, and we caught a lot of fish.

A nice day on the water

We booked a quick trip out with Ryan and had a great time. We spent the 2 hours trolling and managed to catch a couple fish and learn a lot about the area. If you are looking for a captain that will be patient and helpful, this is your guy. If I'm ever back in the area again I would not hesitate to book him for another charter.

We had a wonderful trip with Ryan! He was calm and patient in teaching us how to use the fishing equipment since we had limited fishing experience. He also had snacks for us on board and had a lot of fishing wisdom to share. It was a smooth trip out and back, and we had great time!
