Perfect Fishing Trip!
8-HR Offshore on June 25, 20263 adults

Gabe 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.

Reported catch:

The 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!
