Torey Johnson5.0VerifiedPerfect 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.
Devin Andrews5.0Verifiedcaught a ton of fish.
8-HR Offshore on August 30, 2026 • 6 adultsCaptain was awesome caught a ton of fish from groupers and red snappers to a big amberjack and tons of take home meat. great guy to charter with. i dont understand how anybody could leave a bad review unless they dont inderstand how fishing works. wel be back at least once a year
Tyler Smith5.0Verifiedamazing trip
6-Hour Nearshore on September 26, 2026 • 6 adultsit was an amazing trip he really knew the good spots and tought us alot about what we were doing and what techniques work for certain fish we caught alot of grey trout and some spanish mackerel and was very accommodating twards the whole group.
Adriana Lawton5.0VerifiedAwesome Trip
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 Couture3.0VerifiedChange 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.
Tony Leblanc5.0Verifiedgreat trip
8-Hour Near Shore - 10:00 AM on June 9, 2026 • 6 adults • 3 childrenThe crew was unreal. What a great job they did! Caught sea bass, kingfish, and a 7ft shark! All in tough seas (which we asked to go out in). A+ all the way!
Jovan Moss5.0VerifiedGreat Birthday Trip!
