    Best charter around

    6 Hour Trip – Nearshore/Backcountry on June 7, 2026 • 2 adults

    Capt budda was very knowledgeable and was honest about what was the best option. We originally wanted inshore but he was open and honest off shore was better. He was very pleasant to be around and was extremely helpful with any assistance we needed. We will definitely be back in winter for tuna. Dont think twice book him now for a unforgettable day on the water!
