Kyle Mackay5.0VerifiedReeling them in two at a time
4 Hour Trip – Nearshore (AM) on June 20, 2026 • 6 adults • 1 childWe took 6 people and were able to sit in the shade (the seating area is covered). Constantly rotated reeling in our 14 fish (mostly black fin tuna and one Wahoo). They are one of the few charters that actually let you keep all your fish meat (not just the meat off of a 20# fish like other boats, but don’t take more than you think you can eat) so book it early on your trip and save money eating fresh catch the rest of your trip. Bring a cooler/tote or something with ice to put your fish in. There are only a double and two single padded seats for your group but two can sit on the shell next to the single seats. Friendly and personable Captain and First mate. I would definitely book again and do it at the beginning of the trip.
Jason RatcliffRepeat angler5.0VerifiedOne of the Best Trips We’ve Ever Done.
6 Hour Trip – Offshore - 12:00 PM on August 4, 2026 • 5 adults • 2 childrenThis trip was one for the ages. We took my son and 2 nephews 7 and 9 on this trip. The Captain and crew were amazing. Just told them fish on start reeling and let them jump on every pole. Great guys so much knowledge and fun. This is the best fishing trip we’ve done hands down.

Absolute killer day aboard the RipTide!
4 Hour Trip – Nearshore (PM) on March 23, 2026 • 2 adultsWe could not be any more happy with the experience aboard the RipTide. The captain Brian and his first Micah we’re very welcoming and all around awesome people to spend our 4 hour trip with. Micah was very experienced in the stern and Brian ended up putting us on an amazing sailfish and got it done! Would highly recommend booking with these, guys we will be back again soon!
Anthony EssonRepeat angler4.7VerifiedGreat bottom fishing trip!
4 Hour Trip – Nearshore (AM) on March 28, 2026 • 2 adultsWe wanted to experience near-shore bottom fishing this time around and Riptide delivered with constant action. We fished 70 to 140 feet depths and caught Brazillian Snapper, Yellowtail Snapper, Strawberry Grouper and Rock Hind. We also got put the light tackle to the test catching a 6 foot Nurse Shark to close out the trip. Captain Brian and First Mate Mike were great, answering questions and making sure we had everything we needed to really enjoy our trip!
Stephen Jacobs5.0Verifiedunreal day on the water!
6 Hour Trip – Offshore on June 23, 2026 • 4 adultsSome real deal fishing and the guys on the boat firing on all cylinders the whole time. Nothing beats fresh yellowtail sashimi just a few hours after pulling it out of the ocean yourself!
