captain was fighting overnight storm and affect on water temp ..But trip was successful. We all caught fish ……and a 40# plus Red Drum …so fun. We experienced dolphins jumping around the boat ..we all had the best time. boat is clean and comfortable !!! Rocky and Bullfrog friendly and professional ..great way to spend the morning
Absolutely outstanding experience. Weather was a little challenging and the Captain and First Mate still got us on fish! Very technically competent, extremely personable, and tremendous ship. Highly Highly recommend this veteran owned bussiness. Since we live here, we will be going back to them repeatedly for all our future trips. Jayz Long Local Guide·67 reviews a week ago New Rocky is a great guy and a great captain. 1st mate Carter really takes care of the fishermen. Great trip. Captain tried every trick in the book to get us on some fish 🐟. We will definitely book again. Ashley Huffman 1 review a week ago New Best fishing trip we have had in Virginia Beach so far. Crew was very personable and actually cared if we caught fish and had a great experience. The boat was top tier and very clean. They were very determined to give us the best trip … More steven yarber Highly Highly recommend this veteran owned bussiness. Since we live here, we will be going back to them repeatedly for all our future trips.
Thank we really try to go above and beyond for everyone. Safety is number 1 and then boat readiness. I truly wish we could go out and catch a ton of fish every trip, but this is fishing not catching. We value everyone and know everyone has different needs. Again thank you Looking forward to future trips with you.
Captain and First Mate are phenomenal. Great boat, put us on fish, kept us on fish, and had a great time. Highly highy recommend!!!
