Ryan Erb5.0Verified“This was the best fishing trip ever”
3 Hour Trip – Inshore Shark Fishing on July 4, 2026 • 9 adults • 3 childrenCaptain Jack was amazing and really made our trip successful. We wanted to fish for sharks and we caught 11 sharks and a sting ray! He found the perfect spot and we had enough time that everyone in our party was able to reel something in. He was quick with setup, replacing lines when fish bit through them, patient with the kids and helping get the sharks on the boat so we could get a picture with each one. It was the perfect day and we would book again with him in a heartbeat!
Bradley Spirakus5.0VerifiedA great time with a great Captain
3 Hour Trip – Inshore Shark Fishing - 7:30 AM on July 28, 2026 • 8 adults • 3 childrenWent on a 3-hour excursion with Captain Jack. Our family had an amazing time. The boat was great, took us out to catch live bait, then took off for our first spot. We ended up catching 10+ sharks across 5 different species ranging from the cutest little hammerhead shark ever saw to lassoing a large shark under the boat. Captain Jack was super knowledgeable and very helpful. All around, we were having a good time. Would highly recommend.
Makayla Logue5.0VerifiedMost amazing experience!
3 Hour Trip – Inshore Shark Fishing on July 14, 2026 • 7 adults • 2 childrenMy family and I have nothing but amazing things to say about this entire experience. Our eleven year old had a tramatic experience on a boat a week prior and was visibly upset and crying. Captain Jack was amazing with him. Reassured him he would be safe, perodically checked in with him, and answers his a million questions. My mama heart could not be more grateful for Captain Jack. He was very imformative, kind, and just all around great.

3 Hour Trip – Inshore Shark Fishing on June 18, 2026 • 11 adults • 5 childrenWe had a large party and a lot of kids and our captain could not have been better! We caught A shark right out of the gate a stingray which was an insane fight and even got a catfish! Could use some newer tackle but that did not stop us from fulfilling a life time goal for all aboard! I would absolutely recommend this to everyone and absolutely going to do this again!
