    Great experience!

    2 hr trip on June 24, 2026 • 2 adults • 1 child

    Captain Joe was awesome! He went above and beyond to find the right places for my son and I to have a memorable experience. We are beginners and were able to catch some Striped Bass and Blue fish. Highly recommended!!

    2 hr trip on August 6, 2026 • 5 adults • 2 children

    Excellent captain! :) He stayed out an extra hour to see if we could get some keepers. Caught about 8 nice rockfish, but out of season... :( He taught the boys (a 6 & 9 yr. old) about the boat and answered hundreds of questions from them. Even let them steer the boat. I would recommend Captain Joe for any fishing charter.

    Caught our limit within an hour. This was a great trip and I will book again. This isn't a sit in a comfy seat and have the First Mate cast your line and then give it to you to reel in, this is a bit of an education on what to use where to go and how to catch the big ones.

    Great Trip

    Full Day Trip on August 2, 2025 • 5 adults

    Captain Joey is a first class guy! We had a great time and caught a good amount of fish on our 8 hour trip. Captain Joey worked hard for us constantly moving to a new spot when the fish stopped biting at the current spot. Everyone in our party had a lot of fun. I would book with him again.

    2 hr trip on July 16, 2026 • 2 adults

    Captain Joe was excellent. He is knowledgeable, helpful, friendly, and courteous. He took us to over a dozen locations in an attempt to find and catch fish. Unfortunately, the fish were not cooperating, and the only nibble we got was a huge sting ray that Capt. Joe caught.

Response from Captain

Thank you for the review. We are disappointed whenever our guests don't catch fish. Because a 2-hour trip is quite short, our time on the water was divided between teaching the fundamentals of casting and adapting to physical comfort levels to ensure everyone could fish safely.
