David GodwinRepeat angler5.0VerifiedInshore 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 Swiney5.0VerifiedBest 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 Soto5.0VerifiedGreat 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!
