    Brand new equipment super knowledgeable captain!

    3 – Hour Fun & Sandbar Trip - 12:00 PM on March 24, 2025 • 5 adults • 3 children

    I would highly recommend requesting captain Kyle to take you out and get you on the fish right away! He was extremely patient with all 3 kids and made sure each kid had a memorable experience and everyone had the opportunity to reel something in! 10/10 experience will be requesting captain Kyle again next time we book!! .

    A great day of fishing

    4 Hour Trip – Inshore (PM) on June 13, 2025 • 3 adults

    Kyle, our captain, was a very knowledgeable and friendly guide. We were a family of young children and he offered plenty of patience with our kids lines getting tangled and baits being lost. We ended up catching several different types of fish and created many great memories for our kids. I highly recommend.

    Nice inland fishing with my 8yr old son

    3 – Hour Fun & Sandbar Trip on March 31, 2025 • 2 adults • 1 child

    The three-hour trip was a great first trip with my son. It let him get his feet wet, so to speak, without having to be out all day. Given it was an inland trip, the morning was great just cruising through the mangroves as the sun came up. Kyle was very chill and helpful. Thanks!

    Great Evening on the Water

    3 Hour Trip – Inshore Sunset (PM) on July 10, 2025 • 6 adults • 4 children

    Captain Alex helped us have a great evening of fishing. Caught 7 different species in only a couple hours and he made sure everyone, even our youngest, was able to reel one in. Would definitely recommend a return trip.

Kyle was great!
4 Hour Trip – Inshore on May 11, 2025 • 2 adults • 3 children

We had a wonderful Mother's Day morning out on the water with Kyle. My wife and I fish regularly but we had our three kids (11, 9, and almost 4) this trip and they all had a great experience. He was patient and we all had a wonderful half day. We would recommend Kyle to anyone.
