Could not have had a a better time!Caught some beautiful Redfish and limited out on Speckled Trout and Black Drum! Also saw so much wildlife swim by the boat including Dolphins, Sea Turtles, Rays and Jellyfish. We had so much fun with this action packed 4 hour tour! Chapo was so much fun and an amazing captain! Highly recommend!
Our captain Chapo was absolutely great! Thanks to him our smallest kiddo, 3y, reeled in the biggest fish of our group. We had never been out fishing like this before and had a blast. We had our catch cooked up for some tacos at the restaurant when we got done and they did not disappoint!
went out with Chapo on a cloudy and a bit rainy day and when a tournament was happening. turns out we did better than most of the tournament boats! highly experienced captain here.
The captin was awesome! put us right on good fish. after we reached our limit he took us to catch a shark and see dolphins. great time
Thank you for coming out with us! Hope to see y’all again!
Chapo was fantastic in helping and teaching the whole group. We all fished up to the limit on drums and then he took us dolphin watching. Great captain. The GOAT
Thank you! I hope to see y’all again!

I grew up fishing all my life. Blue water hunting, spearing reefs, trolling sports fish, but now I love inshore fishing because it's easy and I can take my wife and kids any chance I can. 'I'd rather be fishing'
