    What a wonderful day!!

    5 Hour Trip – Private - 1:00 PM on April 8, 2026 • 3 adults

    Rodney and Ethan were such a delight. They are so knowledgable and was so attentive. Ready to help when needed!! WE WILL BE BACK!! IT WAS A WONDERFUL DAY. Rodney and Ethan, thank you so much. Anyone would love this trip! I would suggest at least 7 and that if they are mature and have patience. We caught our limit of fish and then Ethan cleaned them for us!! It was a great day. If you have never road in the ocean on a boat, use dremamine before you get on the boat. One guy is our group was so sea sick, it was no fun for him. He was literally green at the gills!!

    great morning trip at end of May

    5 Hour Trip – Private on May 29, 2026 • 4 adults

    Managed to put 12 Bull Reds in the boat and a couple of keeper state-water snapper. The fish were biting so good they were practically filling out the cooler themselves! Big shoutout to Olivia J Charters for putting us on the fish. If you're looking for a good time, sore arms, and a fish story your friends might actually believe, give them a shot.

    Great Trip!

    Shared Half – Day Trip - 1:00 PM on July 12, 2026 • 2 adults

    Brought home one king mackeral and two bonnet sharks. Caught several red snapper that were too small to keep. Hooked a few other large ones but were unable to land them due to equipment issues with the reels. Ethan was very helpful with trying to get us on the fish and keeping everyone baited. Overall great trip!

We had an awesome time on this fishing trip! Captain Rodney was super cool, knowledgeable, and made sure everyone was having a great time from start to finish. We caught black tip & bonnethead head sharks, barracuda, red snapper & catfish. He also cleaned and filleted all of our catches for us, making it easy to take everything home and enjoy.
