3/4 Day Trip

Captain Jim was AWESOME

VERIFIED

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.

Caught mahi mahi!

VERIFIED

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!

3/4 Day Trip

Capt Jim is one heck of a fisherman!

VERIFIED

We went out today fishing for Mahi, a trip ten years in the effort. Capt Jim put us right on the fish! We left at 8 and had Mahi in the boat by 915! A capt that knows how to drive the waters as well as fish them is a gold mine! 10/10 would go again with Capt Jim- he was amazing!! Great stories, great music, and a plethora of experience, Capt Jim made sure we had a blast!

Fantastic day on the water

VERIFIED

Captain Jim and his boat were perfect for a day on the water. The boat was immaculate when we arrived and captain Jim was awesome. We caught several Mahi including a 40” bull! Captain Jim was knowledgeable not only about the fishing, but also all the wildlife we saw and the area. I will definitely be back.
