Joe was very friendly and was great with our 4 boys ranging in age from 4-10. We were looking for something that was on the shorter side and on the bogue side of the island (we weren’t sure stomachs could handle rough water) and this was perfect for that. We saw dolphins and he got us pretty close to watch them for a few minutes before continuing on to fish. Joe was very down to earth and moved us a few different locations to try and get us catching fish. We would definitely recommend for a family outing.
This was an amazing family experience! The captain was great with our girls and so knowledgeable! Thankful for a super fun trip!! We were each able to catch a good one (3 sheepsheads and 1 flounder that had fo go back since it wasn’t in season)
1/2 day AM trip with 6 Year Old. Second charter out with Josef. Will keep coming back..Josef knows what the fish our biting. will be back for future trips. He put us in the right places with the right bait. awesome With kiddo.
Joe was very helpful and knowledgeable  on where and how to catch the fish. We caught drum, speckled trout, and sheep’s head. We had a great time! 
Very knowledgeable. Super sweet to our seven-year-old who was feeling a little nervous to go out. Caught lots of fish and had a fun morning.
