Excellent Trip
3/4 Day Trip on December 31, 20255 adults

Great Captain and Crew. Patient and positive with our first timers. Quick and efficient, friendly and easy going! The boat interior is comfortable, had blankets for the cold morning. Fishing was awesome, they kept us on fish all day, including some Mahi even late in the season. Kept us baited and set all day. Great service all around, fresh fish filleted and ready to go home. Highly Reccomend!
