Knew where the fish were, kind, and professional. Boat is great with nice indoor cabin and bathroom. Highly recommend and will be back.

Half Day Afternoon on May 12, 20266 adults
Very 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.

Great Trip!
Half Day Morning Trip on June 25, 20255 adults
Captain Justin and First Mate Trevor were top notch. We couldn't have asked for a better trip. They got us on the mackerel right away and were catching them the entire trip. The air-conditioned cabin was clutch to cool off for a few minutes in between catches since we had a heat advisory that week. Thank you guys for a great time and keep up the good work. We hope to be able to book this charter next year.

I took my three grandsons ages 13,12,10 and we had a blast. We caught so many fish. The captain and mate was so much fun and really made this fishing tripp enjoyable and fun. We ended up with about 77 nice size fish. We stayed busy just bring the fish in one after another. We strongly recommend booking the boat for your next fishing trip.
