Joe Reep•Ohio, USMember since 20245.0VerifiedGreat Trip for the Entire Family
Party/Walk-On Fishing 6hrs 6 AM on July 25, 2024 • 7 adults • 3 childrenWe took a 6 hr party/walk-on trip with 5 in our group, ranging in age from 6 to 55. It was about 1.5 hours out to the fish, but there was plenty to watch to keep the attention of the younger ones on the ride. Once it was time to fish, the crew did an awesome job to move a few members of our group to the back of the boat so we could all fish near one another. We bounced between a few different spots, catching 3 or 4 different species of fish, and the crew was always quick to help with tangles and taking fish off the hook. Our group had one of the fullest coolers on the boat with 14 keepers and about a dozen more we had to throw back because they were too small or out of season. We did have one person get a little seasick and he appreciated having the A/C in the cabin to get more comfortable. I’d definitely recommend this trip to any young families or groups looking for their first exposure to fishing on the ocean.
Jacob Stanton•Pennsylvania, USMember since 20235.0Verified6-7 hour morning trip
Party/Walk-On Fishing 6hrs 6:30AM on June 29, 2023 • 1 adultBy far, the best head/party boats I have ever been on! The entire trip, from the very beginning to the end, was great! The crew and the captain were all very personable, professional, and passionate about what they do! The captain did an amazing job keeping us on the fish, and the deck hands did great at helping, identifying, measuring everything we caught! We caught fish at every hole, and had a cooler full of keeps by the end of the trip! The boat itself was great with plenty of outside seating, inside seating with tvs, 2 bathrooms, and an upper sundeck for sightseeing! We also saw numerous dolphins, which was a plus! I would recommend this trip to anyone and I can’t wait to book another trip with Pelican Adventures fishing Charters!

Shay Peterson•Michigan, USMember since 20235.0Verified6hr Trip
Party/Walk-On Fishing 6hrs 7AM on March 29, 2023 • 2 adultsCaptain kept us on the Fish the entire trip. Retro kept the mood great and the energy levels high. All the crew were eager to help and happy to answer questions. Dennis was on top of everything and the younger guy kept right up with him. They had a new deckhand who although they said was green he to helped everyone make the day run smooth. Not only do I recommend, I can say with certainty I'll be back as well!!!

Had a great time, caught a decent amount of fish, some trigger fish, rose lips, and the mingos we were all after. The guys on the ship were extremely helpful with getting tangles free, teaching us how to fish for the best fish, and keeping the boat very clean. And shout out to the captain for taking us to the best fishing spots! Had a great first time, would go back again!
Thank you for your awesome review! Looks like our captain and crew exceeded your expectation which we are thrilled to hear! There's something exhilarating about deep sea fishing and we are glad that you had such an awesome experience! We look forward to seeing you again in the future aboard one of our great vessels!
We booked with a group of 3 adults and 7 teens. Experience levels with fishing were varied. Zach, Evan, and Anthony did an excellent job as crew members making sure everyone had a great time. They constantly checked on us without being overbearing. They enforced rules and regulations without being demanding. The boat itself is comfortable. We brought home almost 40 fish and probably had to return about that many because of size regulations. I would highly recommend this trip.
Thanks for joining us—we’re glad to have had you aboard! Hope to see you again soon! 🌊
