David GodwinRepeat angler•Florida, US•Member since 20213 trips5.0VerifiedInshore Trip - Tarpon Springs
6 Hour Trip on September 4, 2023 • 4 adultsWe had an excellent time. Captain Saki was a gentleman and very helpful to our party. Every spot was holding fish. We had great quality live baits. He made everyone comfortable and really made the trip special for our group. We caught over 20 slots redfish and snook! Captain Ryan, Saki's partner, was always dialed in, had a great eye for spotting the fish, and handled the boat (25' Dorado) with practiced ease and skill. The boat was ideally setup for the context and environment. We highly recommend this charter service.

Keith Swiney•Georgia, USMember since 20225.0VerifiedBest fishing day EVER!
6 Hour Trip on February 19, 2022 • 4 adultsSaki was an amazing guide! We ended up going out on the one day of the weekend where the weather started out to be less than ideal, but we were determined to make the best of it. Saki is so knowledgeable and patient, and took us to a spot where we were able to catch some great sized fish despite windy and cold conditions. We loved every moment and will definitely be back.
Melissa Soto•Florida, USMember since 20225.0VerifiedGreat Day Fishing!
Half Day Trip (AM) on August 1, 2022 • 4 adultsHad a great day fishing with Captain Saki. Despite the Florida heat, the captain found a few spots where we caught several Redfish, Snook, and Jack, and even spotted some great wildlife. Captain Saki was very knowledgeable and accommodating, and was a fantastic guide. 10/10 would recommend, and we will definitely be booking again!

Saki and Ryan have been best friends since they were 12 YO, and it shows. Not only do they have a complete knowledge of local fishing, but they understand each other and with minimal communication they not only expertly guided us to the fish but then convinced the fish to join the party. We caught over the limit and released many fish to another day. Great boat, great equipment, terrific team.
Captain Saki and Ryan are first rate. They were excellent with two novice fisherman, with advice, encouragement and assistance. They put us on fish and created a memorable outing!
