My son and I had an amazing trip on the water with Captain Max. It was a perfect morning, calm water and a cool breeze. Captain Max met us on the marina on time (early actually) and we were on the move within minutes. He took us right to the fish, gave us some brief instruction on the technique we were using that day and we were getting bites in seconds. Whatever he wanted to target is what we got! He knew where to go and when to leave a spot to make sure we stayed on the fish. We had some amazing views to boot. We mentioned we wanted to scratch some Mahi Mahi off our bucket list and he said, "we can do that" and we went straight to them! The boat was great, the engine was powerful and surprisingly quiet and Captain Max was a blast to hang out with. I highly recommend booking your next trip with him. You won't regret it!
We had an incredible fishing trip with Captain Max and couldn’t have asked for a better experience. From the moment we got on the water, it was clear how knowledgeable and confident he was even though no one else seemed to be out fishing that day, Captain Max knew exactly where the fish were. He put us on fish right away. We quickly caught our limit of Black Drum and Redfish, and then went on to catch Speckled Trout as well. The action was nonstop. We’ve been on several guided fishing trips before, and this one was by far the most memorable. My two sons were on this trip and Captain Max was incredibly patient and great with them. You can genuinely tell that he loves what he does, and that passion shows in how he runs his trips and interacts with his guests. Highly recommend! We’ll definitely be back!

We signed up for the offshore trip and boy it did not dissapoint. We headed right out to the big water in hopes to beat the wind and waves for a couple hours. Captin Max put us right on the fish immediately. Within the first hour we had our 3 man limit of Beeliner! We quickly switched out gear and decided to target Red Grouper. Once again we were in the fish within minutes. Pulling up 10 or so in a very short amount of time. At this point we had to head back inland due to hard winds and heavy surf. We made it back into the bay with an hour to spare. So Captin Max set us up with trolling gear to target Spanish Mackerel. By the end of our morning we had enough Mackerel for a 2 man limit! We couldnt be happier with our choice of Charter. Captin Max is super knowledgeable, friendly and fun to be around. Highly recommend to anyone at any skill level. Looking forward to doing this again!
Epic Day of deep sea fishing with my three boys. Captain Max was great with kids. Kept them in line while keeping it friendly and litehearted. We caught trigger, red snapper, vermillion, and sand perch that we could keep and eat. Also he put us on some amberjack in the bay thay gave my son the fight of his life. All in all a wondeful experience. Cant wait to book another outing with Max next year.

Captain Max was the best! Friendly and helpful but without being bossy. This was an anniversary trip for me and my husband, and we love to fish but don’t know a whole lot about ocean fishing. Captain Max taught us some tricks and was such a pleasure to hang out with. We caught flounder, red fish, croaker, sea trout, catfish and Pig fish. Capt Max took us to several little honey holes and kept us where the fish were biting! It was an awesome time and we will definitely go back! Highly reccomend “Maxed Out” fishing!!

If you are looking for a great captain who does more than just take you to the fish, book you a trip with captain Max. As first timers, we were a little nervous about hitting the sea but he completely put us at ease. He didn't just bait hooks he actually took the time to teach us about the art of fishing and shared knowledge about the sea. By the end of the fishing trip we didn't just leave with some fish but also with an appreciation for the water and skill set required. Would definitely use maxed out guide fishing on our next return to PCB.

This was our fourth charter and Captain Max is by FAR the best! His equipment was well maintained, he was on time/we left on time, communication was excellent, great personality and friendly - extremely knowledgeable. We had SO much fun and thoroughly enjoyed our trip. We will definitely book with him again!

The 4 hour inshore trip with Captain Maximilian was great. From the moment we arrived he made sure that we had a great experience. It was clear he knows the waters and found us some fish. Given that it was winter and the down season for fishing we didn't expect to limit out but we managed to find a couple solid reds and a couple other fish. The sheepshead were stealing our bait but we couldn't manage to get any in the boat. Maximilian did a great job helping my 7 year old get the first and biggest fish of the day which was a joy to watch. I also appreciate that he uses pretty decent light tackle which allows for a better experience. We'll call him up the next time we're in town.
Capt. Cole is an amazing and very knowledgeable fisherman. We were catching fish with in 5 minutes . He is very eco conscious and is super helpful with us beginners. Capt. Cole was happy to let the guys fish more independently because they knew how to fish, while he helped us ladies. Over all it was a blast. We had a blast and will be coming back next year. 10 out of 10 experience Highly Recommend!!!
Had a great trip out with Max. my son (12yr) and I went out for the offshore 4 hr trip. Max was fun, helpful and made the trip a really fun experience for us. Highly recommend, great with kids. Understood our priority on keeping kiddo engaged with more catches rather than long waits hoping to hook a big one, and adapted accordingly. Max took us to a few spots as well as some closer to shore, and we had a great time. Caught red snapper, Squirrelfish, Sheephead, Triggerfish and others. Great time and would recommend anytime, especially if you have kids with you.
