cant beat the Captains knowledge of the area and fishing. Catered to different fishing experience levels helping the less experienced and letting the more experienced do their thing. Got some beautiful fish !

Captain Jim was AWESOME

3/4 Day Trip reef on June 12, 2025 • 1 adult • 1 child

We had an unforgettable day on the water! The captain was fantastic—friendly, knowledgeable, and great with my son. He made the whole trip fun and easy, especially for my boy, and really knew how to put us on the fish. We ended up landing a beautiful wahoo and multiple mahi mahi—my son was thrilled! It was non-stop excitement and definitely a trip we’ll remember for a long time. Highly recommend this charter for anyone looking for a great fishing experience with a top-notch guide.

Great Trip with a Friendly, Capable Guide

3/4 Day Trip reef on August 14, 2025 • 3 adults

We booked a trip (myself and two 16 year old boys) with Captain Jim Butler. It was a great trip. Captain Jim spent a lot of time on fishing instruction and also explaining his strategy for locating fish. We caught some really nice mahi and a couple barracudas. It was great. Highly recommended.

Caught mahi mahi!

3/4 Day Trip reef on June 30, 2025 • 4 adults

Captain Jim was great and his boat had everything we needed. We did the 6 hour trip and caught mahi mahi and almost a wahoo! The kids and us parents loved it and on our return to the marina, Jim filleted the fish and bagged it up in ice for us and we're now about to eat it for dinner 😋😄🎣 Would definitely recommend this fishing charter!
