sometimes catching memories are more important
3 Hour Trip – Inshore - 9:45 AM on April 12, 20262 adults

spent the morning on the water with Captain Hunter and my son. We were able to catch a few fish, but weather was not favorable. Our captain can only do so much in regards to trying to catch a fish although there's a lot of skill there's also elements that have to be taken into consideration. We caught three that we had to release and that's OK. And the reason I say that's OK is because what can't be thrown back is the memories. We had a real good time and our captain was very informative and genuinely cared about making sure that Mason and I had a good time. I highly recommend it and look forward to doing it again.

BEST CHARTER/GUIDE EVER!
3 Hour Trip – Inshore - 9:45 AM on March 18, 20263 adults

My 2 sons and I contacted Captain Hunter late the nught before we wanted to go out. He accomodated our request without hesitating! The weather forecast was not good, but he was willing if we were. It was a great morning on the water! We caught 4 different species including (a lot of) Mangrove Snapper, Puffer fish, Baracuda and Needle fish. His knowledge of the area and locations were instrumental in our success. We will be coming back to take more trips this summer! Highly recommend!

Great Day fishing with family
4 Hour Trip – Inshore on February 4, 2026

I just had an amazing experience on the fishing charter! Captain Hunter was incredibly friendly and knowledgeable, making sure everyone felt comfortable and had a great time. The boat was well-equipped and spacious, perfect for a day out on the water. We caught a variety of fish, and the guides were fantastic at helping us reel them in. The whole trip was smooth and relaxing, with beautiful views and plenty of opportunities to learn about the local marine life. I highly recommend this fishing charter to anyone looking for a fun and memorable adventure!

Amazing experience
2 Hour Trip – Inshore - 11:00 AM on March 30, 20262 adults2 children

My family had an amazing experience fishing with Captain Hunter. He was extremely nice, personable and helpful. He consistently worked hard to make sure we were always in position to be successful. The boat itself was really nice. Our kids caught so many more fish than we could have wanted. We truly had a blast and would highly recommend Captian Hunter.
