Fred MillerRepeat angler5.0VerifiedFamily time with the boys!
Half Day Morning Trip on June 24, 2026 • 4 adultsGreat time on the water! Highly recommend Captain Justin and Family Time Fishing. They were ready to fish when we arrived and got us fishing in short order. Everyone caught two or more fish while the other boats were coming up empty. Looking forward to trying again with Family Time in the future!
Tim Mynes5.0VerifiedGreat day fishing
Full Day Trolling & Bottom Fish on May 15, 2026 • 3 adultsMy sons and I did the full day (8h) and had a great time. We caught loads of fish including near limit (8, 9 is limit) of King Mackerel. Captain and first mate were excellent. Knew where the fish were, kind, and professional. Boat is great with nice indoor cabin and bathroom. Highly recommend and will be back.
Tobin ForbusRepeat angler5.0VerifiedGreat day fishing!
Half Day Afternoon on May 12, 2026 • 6 adultsVery well kept, clean, large boat with inside cabin perfect for those with families who want to get out of the sun or stay warmer when chilly. Captain and mate very friendly and put us on some nice bonita, spanish and blues. Fun day and would use them again for sure when we're in the area.
Johnny Boggs5.0VerifiedFamily Time Fishing offered Perfect Trip
Full Day Trolling & Bottom Fish on November 8, 2025 • 5 adultsJustin and his first mate gave my brothers and me exactly the deep-sea fishing experience we were looking for — a relaxed, comfortable atmosphere and nonstop action. There wasn’t a moment our lines were in the water without getting bites. We pulled in over a 100 pounds of black bass, triggerfish, and porgies. Run, don’t walk, to grab your phone and book your trip with this charter!
Samantha Grooms5.0VerifiedGreat time catching Spanish Mackerel.
Half Day Mid Day on July 27, 2026 • 4 adultsCrew was very kind and helpful with myself and two teenager girls. We had so much fun and the boat was perfect for everyone as they needed breaks. ***Mom definitely won the competition, even though they teamed up against me.
Gregory LEWIS5.0VerifiedEven the Dolphins were catching fish!

We had a great day of fishing with our family. We booked the 8 hour offshore trip and the captain and first mate provided us with a wonderful experience as we caught a variety of fish. There were multiple opportunities for each family member to reel in a fish and everyone enjoyed themselves. The boat is very spacious both inside and out and allowed us to spend time together either enjoying the sun and water or the coolness of the air conditioning while eating inside the salon. It was a trip that we will remember for a long time.
Michael thanknyoubfor your business and your review, we really appreciate it.
Terrible weather (rain, 25 knot winds) — but the Captain put us on fish. Caught around 20 fish (tuna, blue, Spanish mackerel and king mackerel)
Ron Thank you for the trip and the review. I’m really glad we were able to make a good day out of it for you with the weather.
