    Fantasti trip

    4 Hour Trip - 12:00 PM on October 13, 2026 • 2 adults

    Captain Reid put us on the fish. We had a great afternoon bouncing around the oil platforms. It was my daughter’s first ocean trip and Captain Reid was very helpful and patient with her. I definitely recommend to anyone who wants to have a blast and catch some fish.

    Great experience

    3 Hour Trip - 9:00 AM on October 14, 2026 • 2 adults • 1 child

    Captain Reid was awesome. I had my 8 year old with me, and I wanted to make the trip more about him, and the captain did not disappoint. He was patient, kind, funny, and we caught a TON of fish. My kiddo essentially spent the entire time reeling - his hand and arm were sore when we were all done!! I'll use Captain Reid again the next time we go fishing, which is the biggest compliment I can give.
