HIGHLY RECOMMENDED, AWESOME TIME!!
4 hr in/near/ offshore Capt. choice on April 14, 20262 adults2 children

Captain Brian F. was the man!! I took this trip with my wife and 2 boys(7& 10)- all novice at fishing- we did a 4hr trip, from 8am-12pm. From the start, filling us in on everything and offering a hand/advice wherever needed. Made the trip a lot of fun. Lots of biting & caught a bunch of fish, including a HUGE Grouper caught at the end, what a fight!!- unfortunately, had to throw it back in as it was out of season. we did notmake any catches big enough to keep, but it still made for a lot fun and great memories. I would HIGHLY recommend and would most definitely take another trip!!

2 hr fish & fun, great for kids. - 12:00 PM on January 2, 20262 adults2 children

🌊🎣 **5-Star Review: Fishing & Fun on the High Seas!** 🎣🌊 If you're after a deep-sea fishing trip that feels more like a party, this is it! Our charter had us catching multiple types of fish while our captain stole the show with his singing and dancing. Every time someone reeled in a fish, he launched into another showstopper, and we couldn’t help but join in—flailing around like we were auditioning for a fishy Broadway! With stunning views, plenty of laughs, and a captain who could outshine any karaoke star, this trip was a total blast. Five stars for fantastic fishing and fabulous fun!

2 hr fish & fun, great for kids. - 10:00 AM on June 8, 20262 adults3 children

We had a really good time. Captain Brian and his deck hand was very accommodating and patient with the little ones ages 6 to 17. They were all happy at the end and everyone got a fish or two on the line and a couple in the boat. It was an ideal trip for our kids's first time and 2 hours is definitely enough time to have a great time. I booked another trip already and looking forward to include mom.

Great trip – nonstop action and great captain
3 hr in/near/ offshore capt. choice - 2:00 PM on March 19, 20262 adults

We had an awesome trip with Captain Brian this past Thursday. I brought my brother-in-law Tony, and Captain Brian made sure we didn’t go home empty-handed. We caught a great variety including sheepshead, grouper, ladyfish, and snook. He was knowledgeable, easygoing, and worked hard the entire time to keep us on fish. Everything was smooth and well organized from start to finish. Highly recommend booking with Captain Brian if you want a fun and productive day on the water. We’ll definitely be back! 🎣
