My husband, 15 year old son, and his 15 year old friend had a great time! Garrett was so great at rearranging our trip due to the tropical storm. He made sure they had a wonderful experience. All of them caught fish! Garrett worked so hard to make sure they caught fish. All the boys were super happy and had an excellent time. We would for sure book with him again.
This fishing trip was the best! Captain Garrett was so chill and personable. I went with my sister, cousin, and best friend on my sister’s bachelorette trip. We learned a lot, caught several fish, and had breathtaking views. The trip was so good, we turned around and went again the next morning! The memories we made will last a lifetime!
We did the off shore 4 hour trip and Captain Garrett worked hard to put us on fish that were fun to catch and great to eat. In the words of my 11 year old son, “that was awesome!” The off shore trip is best for older kids and adults. I would reccomend the In shore fishing for younger kids.
Captain Garrett was good people to be aroundin the water! Fun and respectful! Good to get along with! caught some real good Spanish Mackrel out in the water! trip is best for anyone wanting to go out and enjoy the day in the water! My brothers and I will definitely be back again!
thank yall 🎣🎣
