Torey Johnson•Texas, USMember since 20265.0VerifiedPerfect Fishing Trip!
8-HR Offshore on June 25, 2026 • 3 adultsGabe and Brett were great! The boat was as advertised and Gabe worked with me to customize the trip for what I wanted. I had an amazing 14-hr Gulf Stream trip with my nephews. Gabe was very knowledgable of the area and made sure we caught fish! Highly recommend this kind of trip for fishermen who want a memorable fishing trip and opportunity to catch a lot of different species.

4 Hour Trip – Nearshore Summer - 10:00 AM on June 7, 2026 • 6 adultsWe had an incredible trip with our grandsons. The crew was patient and helpful to our terms and they loved it. The team was prepared and ready to make our trip top notch!
Dan Couture•South Carolina, USMember since 20263.0VerifiedChange of Captain
4 Hour Trip – Sharks - 2:00 PM on July 25, 2026 • 5 adultsSpecifically requested a trip to catch fish to keep, was told that would be no issue. The captain didn’t seem to know where to go, fished next to people’s docks. Finally made it out to the ocean and bottom fished for a couple hours and caught nothing. Finally hooked up to baby hammerheads, the captain stayed they were bonnet heads. Lack of knowledge of fishing spots and shark species.
