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!
Both Captains were awesome! Hard to catch fish in the summer.. not for this crew! We moved and moved until we found them! Caught Snook, red fish and trout all day long! Grand Slam! Had an excellent time and will be back again very soon! Had a blast, it was a first class charter! Book with confidence and have a blast. See you guys in October. Thanks again the Rogers ( 3 generations)
We 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.
Captain Saki and Ryan were awesome. They took care of everything and we’re prepared for us right from the start. Me and our group had a great time.

He always had a passion for fishing and truly enjoyed and respected the outdoors. Capt. Saki participated in a lot of tournaments over the years and had a lot of wins and success.
