4 Hour Near Shore / Near Beach - 8:30 AM on July 15, 20264 adults

captain katie did an awesome job very professional boat was awesome didn’t catch many fish but she worked her butt off trying to get us on fish could hear on the radio a bunch of other charters got skunked on the fish so I would definitely recommend this charter if I could give her 10 stars I would if I’m back in the area will definitely book another trip with her
