While we did not get to fish with Ian, we did fish with his partner David. The experience was great and they met my ask. The charter was a gift to my 85 year old father for his birthday and David made sure to make him feel special. While my father grew up fishing, he has lost some of his touch but David made him feel as though he was the king of fishing...thank you David!

Great Captain, Great Time!

VERIFIED

Ian was a stellar captain for our fishing adventure! He knows the area extremely well and made sure that we caught fish for fun and for food. He was happy to teach us all about what it takes to fish and how it all works. Also, we had some planning issues that could have caused some headaches but he was very flexible and accommodating to make sure we could really enjoy it all!

Perfect day with lots of fish and great location

VERIFIED

Captain Ian was super. His boat was perfect for my son and I and we had a great day fishing. Pulled in lots of fish. Got to keep the largest ones to fill our limit. An added bonus were the wild horses on Carrot Island and the dolphin pods. I highly recommend Captain Ian.
