Great Father's Day trip
4 Hour Trip – Inshore on June 21, 20262 adults2 children

Captain Jacob made sure to take us to the sweet spots inshore. It was perfect since we were new to ocean fishing. He set us up each time we needed to cast and removed the fish for us. He even taught my kids about the fosh they caught. It allowed my husband to actually enjoy taking the kids fishing because he got to actually fish with them instead of having to tend to everyones needs. Jacob was knowledgeable, helpful, and really went above and beyond to make sure we had a great time and made amazing memories. Cherry on top we baited an caught a shark! We all got to touch and hold it before we threw it back. This trip is definitely one for the books. We will for sure be back for more fishing fun!

Great time!..Fantastic crew!!…Big fish!!!
4 Hour Trip – Inshore on June 14, 20264 adults

My family and i got this charter and it far exeeded our expectations. Noah and Taylor put us on big fish and plenty of them! They kept the hooks baited and the spirits were high! There knowledge of the waters and fish were incredible, and were able to land enough snapper to feed us for quite a few days! They took great care in cleaning our fish at the end of our trip and sent us home with a fantastic fishing trip to tell our friends and family about. I would highly recommend using this charter and i will use it again in the future myself!…..p.s. Trigger fish are gray!

This was our second year with this charter and it never disappoints. Last year, Craig was our captain and we caght a couple snappers and a few sharks. 10/10 everytime:) Thanks guys!

Best fishing trip with my son
6 Hour Trip Offshore on August 6, 20263 adults

What a great experience. The captain Noah was absolutely awesome. He knew where all the fish were, was extremely nice and professional and my 14 year old son said it was the best trip ever. We caught over 40 fish. Noah’s guidance helped create some memories that will last forever.
