Great Day!!!
3/4 Day Trip on February 13, 20266 adults

We had one of fhe greatest days of deep sea fishing ever with James and Chris. We could not of asked for a better crew and boat. Do not hesitate to book with them. We caught two blue marlins right off the bat. The technology on the boat and the experience of the crew is unmatched. We cant wait to come back and fish with them again!!!

Blue Marlin
