Ray put us on even more fish the second time around. I personally pulled in nearly 60 fish on the 8 hour trip. Plenty of Snapper to take home! We also caught some grouper, spadefish, remora, trigger, mackerel, trout and a handful of unidentified juvenile species. Saw a couple sharks, a ton of dolphin and some massive sea turtles which if you have kids is something awesome to experience! Ray is great with the kids as well! Not a lot of guides really want to deal with children on the boat but Ray doesn’t hesitate. You can definitely tell he’s successfully raised a few of his own already! I could not possibly recommend Easy Charter more strongly! It’s an experience you and your loved ones will not forget!
Thanks great time for some snapper fishing. We caught a lot of fish but snapper only in season. We should have taken a Cobia. Looking forward to the Red Drum trip soon. Ray
Captain Ray put us on the fish and we all caught our limit. Everyone on the boat had a great time. I recommend Easy Charter for your fishing expedition. Thanks Captain Ray
Captain Ray and Jim were excellent! Ray is very knowledgeable about fish, fishing, and where to go. He even recommended a great restaurant to take to cook our fish. Highly recommend!
Ray promptly answered all of our questions prior to booking and provided exceptional customer service throughout the trip. Excellent communication. His vessel comfortably accommodated our group of 6 adults. He was very friendly, patient, and accommodating. We lucked up with amazing weather, were all pleased with our catch, had lots of fun, and created wonderful memories. He also did an outstanding job cleaning and bagging our catch. Highly recommended! 5/5
Thanks the crew had great time with you guys! Ray
Captain Ray and his mate Bill never gave up on getting us into a good school of fish. After the first 3 spots only gave up one big catfish they took us to one last spot where we pulled up 10 keepers, (redfish, black drum and sheepshead). Thanks for making it a trip to remember 👍
We had great time. Hope to see you guys again.

We may be new to this site, but not to the water! I've loved fishing since childhood and captain both a 42' blue water sailboat and my fishing boat, a 26 foot Crevalle center console I've owned for over 2 years. This year, I semi-retired to the water, fulfilling my dream of chartering and sharing my passion for fishing. With over 1,100 sea days and nearly 400 days of offshore work on sailing vessels and fishing boats, I'm ready to guide you. Come along for the ride and share my passion!
