Captain Colt was such a great fishing and shelling guide. Not only was he knowledgeable and friendly, but he was patient with our kids. He helped us learn about the different species of fish we caught and the types of shells we found. He was a great guide that we would highly recommend to go out and explore the beautiful 10,000 islands region with. We found the boat to be the perfect size to get into the good fishing and shelling spots, while also being comfortable enough for all six of us.
We had an amazing experience on our fishing tour with Holy Mackerel in Naples, Florida. I’m a complete newbie when it comes to fishing, but Captain Colt was incredible, patient, knowledgeable, and great at teaching. Thanks to him, I picked things up quickly and actually felt confident out there. The boat was well-maintained, and everything ran smoothly. We caught a great variety of fish, including mangrove snapper and speckled trout, which made the whole experience even more exciting. Overall, it was such a fun, well-run trip, and I would absolutely recommend it to anyone visiting Naples, whether you’re experienced or brand new like me. I’d happily go again!
Went out with a work colleague for a quick 2 hour charter! we caught a great variety of fish, Jack, Spotted Trout, Snook. Mango Snapper and some catfish! We even spotted a manatee and dolphin on the water: Overall a great day on the water! Thanks again Colt! John & Glenn
Thanks John and Glenn for joining me on a fishing charter. It was a pleasure having you guys on my boat. I enjoyed the good conversations and good times we bad that day!
I would like to thank Captain Colt for an awesome fishing trip. Captain Colt is professional, easy to communicate with, very organized and hard working. He had nothing but my best interest in mind. He is very knowledgeable about the 10,000 Island waterways, knowing the best spots, switching locations so I was always on fish. We caught a variety of fish including Snook, Sheephead & Sea Trout. He has a reliable, clean boat with quality equipment. I had a lot of fun on this well-run trip & would recommend Holy Mackerel Charters & Capt. Colt. I will definitely book with him again!
Thank you so much Kyle! its always a pleasure having you and your crew on my boat. looking forward to seeing you the next time!
We went out with our two young boys, 8 and 4. Captain waa great with them; teaching them and allowing them to do things on their own ans learn. He kept us moving and on the fish all morning. He had live bait ready for us. Perfect size boat for our day. Captain even caught us a crab. He fileted our fish at the end and we went home already talking about going back!
Thank you for the nice review Lu! it was alot of fun watching tour two boys explore and be so engaged in fishing. I am lookimg forward to having uou back on my boat again!
