What a great experience

3 Hour Trip on December 27, 2025 • 2 adults • 2 children

Went out on a last minute trip, so glad we did! It was a completely spontaneous decision we actually booked on Xmas day to go out a day after and amazingly it was available. Judging by the number of people on the dock i would definitely recommend booking in advance. We just got lucky that Stephen was available. Great trip. Caught lots of fish. The experience itself is very relaxing and very memorable. Went out with 2 adults and 2 tweens. The captain definitely knew good fishing spots and cleaned all the fish after which was highly appreciated. Overall a lovely experience. Would highly recommend

Great trip

3 Hour Trip on April 5, 2025 • 3 adults

We were in Florida on vacation and I know my boyfriend has been dying to go fishing. Set up a trip for him and two of our guy friends to go. Stephen has great communication, let me know ahead of time that since it has been windy the last few days, there might not be much action with the fish. The fellas decided to go anyway and they had a great time. Said captain Stephen was great, caught some fish and generally just enjoyed it. They would do this again if we are back in the area. Thanks captain Stephen for showing Zach, Ben & Brent a good time!
