Great fishing trip!
4 Hour-Offshore Bottom Fishing PM on February 14, 20262 adults2 children

Captain Max was fantastic! We took our 14 year old for his birthday and he had a blast! Max put us on the fish and moved when needed. He was great with both of our kids and even had our 7 year old fishing all by his self! We would definitely recommend Max to anyone wanting to go off shore fishing and we are planning to go with him again this summer!

Wonderful fishing trip
4 Hour–Offshore Bottom Fishing AM on April 1, 20262 adults1 child

We experienced our 1st ever deep sea fishing adventure and it did not disappoint. Captain Max was warm and welcoming, attentive and full of knowledge. Captain Max had us on the fish all trip… we caught a variety of species and had some keepers too! I would highly recommend a fishing trip with Captain Max to anyone coming to this area!

Great Time With The Whole Family
4 Hour–Offshore Bottom Fishing AM on April 17, 20262 adults4 children

We had a great time with Captain Max. We kept him busy re-baiting the lines as we pulled fish out of the water the whole time. Everyone had a great time from our 4 year old to our 10 year old. At the end he cleaned the fish on the dock and we left with our ice chest full. Would definitely book again.
