We absolutely loved it!
5-H Trip – Deep Sea Fishing Shared on August 5, 20265 adults2 children

The Captain and crew are amazing! They wee very helpful, laughed and joked with us, I even got to help a little lol. Nick, Clay, and "Bama," were the best!!!!!!!!! We caught 60 something fish I believe. I didnt realize we could take beer on the trip, so if you drink def pack your icechest. Also take cash, my phone died so quick and I had no way to tip them, which is how the crew makes their money, I did however send later to their cashapp. Hands down amazing! We seen other crews on the dock and no one seemed a friendly as ours.

Late to the boat
6-H Trip – Deep Sea Fishing Shared on July 15, 20266 adults4 children

We had a few people who coukd not get out of bed for 730am. So we were running behind. We got a text at about 720 to make sure we were coming. Which made the trip seem personal. They did not just assume we were not coming. We had a large party of ten half should up just in time and the other half was 8 minutes late. the staff was very kind and did wait knowing we were on our way. we are so grateful they waited for us. We had a great time on the boat and caught a bunch of fish. The ride was rought and people definetly got sick as the ride out is about ine hour and 30 minutes. I would not reccomend taking this trip of you are easily prone to motion sickeness. Otherwise I would highly recommend this trip.

Amazing first time!
6-H Trip – Deep Sea Fishing Shared on July 5, 20269 adults4 children

We had 13 in our group and all enjoyed ourselves! Nate was our favorite, he was ingaging, and had a great sense of humor. We will definitely be back to see the crew on the Sweet Jody! I would recommend this trip for kids over the age of 10 yrs old that are independent with most tasks and have some fishing experience. If you bring younger kids that require losts of help/engagement, be prepared to provide the support instead of fishing yourself. The fish are caught and then taken off by the crew members very quickly. This crew provided our novice fishing members plenty of support! Thanks guys! Best, B

Amazing trip and the kindest captain and crew!!!
5-H Trip – Deep Sea Fishing Shared on June 23, 20262 adults

Could not get better bang for your buck anywhere in florida. The ship is lovely and the captain and crew go above and beyond to ensure everyone on board is having the best time. The crew is there to help anyone of any skill level always moving around the whole boat to help everyone unhook their catch quickly so you can grt your lures back in the water to catch more fish. The captain keeps the boat moving and tells everyone how far off the bottom to fish so everyone always has the best chance to catch a fish. We came home with a TON of fish (even a red grouper!!) that the crew filleted for us on the docks. Definitely a memory we won’t soon forget:)

Had the BEST time!
6-H Trip – Deep Sea Fishing Shared on May 15, 20263 adults

I've been on multiple "party boat" fishing excursions all over Florida. Sweet Jody and her crew were by far the best we have been on in every way. The ship was clean, well-maintained, and well-appointed for a day of fishing. The crew was approachable, patient, kind, and proactive in helping. The captain was quick to move on from a spot if no fish were being caught or nothing that could be kept. The crew cleaning the fish at the end of the trip were efficient and did a great job! I will 100% be fishing again with Sweet Jody next time I'm in the Destin area. Thank you to Sweet Jody for an amazing day and memories to last a lifetime!
