We had an amazing experience from start to finish! The captain was friendly, professional, and worked hard to make sure we had a successful day on the water. The boat was clean, the equipment was in great shape, and everything was well organized. The captain was knowledgeable about the area, kept us on fish, and made the trip enjoyable for everyone. Whether you're an experienced fisherman or trying it for the first time, this charter is well worth it. Thank you for an unforgettable day and memories we'll never forget. We highly recommend this charter and will definitely be booking another trip! Thanks Drew and JP!
Half Day Trip- We headed out about 10 miles after catching some bait in the inlet. They immediately put us on Amberjack. We caught about (10) 30lb jacks in just a few hours. If youve never caught one, get ready for a work out! Fun stuff! Great Captain , great first mate, great boat. You wont be disappointed. Cant wait until next time. Also, i had left my yeti on the boat. The evening after our trip, captain Drew called me to tell me he found it, and that he would meet me the following afternoon to return it. We met up the following day. A true testament to the type of guy Captain Drew is. Im having a beer in that yeti right now😉, cheers and tight lines! -Big Eddie
Captain Drew and JP were awesome. Extremely patient and knowledgeable! We caught a monster barracuda and a few other good size ones as well. The weather wasn’t cooperating, but Captain Drew knew multiple other spots to put us back on the fish. We ended up with a nice variety of good eaters. Mate JP was was very informative and patient with us as we learned. i would 10/10 recomend this charter to anyone lookong from novice to experienced angler.
Captain Drew and First Mate JP did an amazing job for this first experience family group. We weren't sure on how our family would handle being out there on the water for bobbing in the waves so we did a 3/4 day trip. Drew and JP were very patient, explained well, and that led to a really fun time for our family. Our only regret was that we didn't do a full day in the Gulf Stream. I'd highly recommend using these guys.
Our party of five adults. (3 men 2 women) were well taken care of by the great crew of the DREADKNOT. Drew and J.P. are total pros in their knowledge about fish, fishing gear and equipment, safety practices, and weather. We were briefed on the features of the boat, the emergency procedures, and plans for the day. With their guidance and assistance when needed, we were more than happy with our catch of the day! Drew and J.P. made it fun. They were accommodating, and fair. These are two good guys who have a good thing going! We’ll be back!
From booking to our final goodbyes, our 3/4 day trip was beyond amazing!!! Capt. Drew and JP were absolutely amazing, and they put us on some monumental fishing. Don't waste you time with any other captain, or vessel. If you want the best service, best guides, and best experience, Dreadknot Sportfishing is who you want, hands down!!!

on a ruff east wind day these 2 dude did everything in there power to make sure my kids and i caught fish and had the brst experience and they went above and beyond what i could write will be a repeat customer!!!

The captain and crew were awesome. They were able to evaluate the conditions and figure out what was biting. They put us on some good fish and we had a great day on the water
The crew is awesome, very down to earth and knowledgeable. They put us on the fish and made sure we we're all able to bring one in. 10 out of 10 we will be back to go out with Drew and JP again!

We come down annually with the family in April and the Dreadnaught trip was by far the best so far. Had us on the fish early and often. Informative and helpful to our first timers throughout the day.
