Full Day Trip
A trip to remember
Captain Rob and his outstanding crew made for an incredible fishing experience. They put us on Sailfish, Mahi, Kingfish, Barracuda and taught us lots of local knowledge. The Top Gun was the right boat for some sloppy Seas. Highly recommended this group!

Half Day Trip with Captain Nel
This was a great experience. Most of the people in my group were new to fishing. Captain Nel and the first mate Jose taught us everything and made this an exceptional first experience. We caught a couple sailfish, two Bonita fish, and a king fish. I’ve gone on a few charters with captain Nel and I’m never disappointed. Highly recommended

Twilight Tuna Trip
Full Day with Captain Albert and Kyle
I had originally booked this trip as dusk Tuna trip but Captain Nel did a great job of working with me to change it up as there were no Tuna biting at the time. We instead made it a full day trip starting at 1pm. Captain Nel was actually on vacation but had Captain Albert and Kyle take us out. The boat was in great shape and actually had great air conditioning...so it was super comfortable. The gear on the boat was top notch as well. We were excited to fish with Captain Albert and Kyle as they had just won tournament and obviously know what they are doing. As a result, they got us on fish and kept us there, and we definitely appreciated it. They worked so well as a two man team that they actually picked out individual fish they wanted to catch. Our only issue is that they were kind of fishing without us. Cast every line. Hooked every fish. Gave us a pole to hold then grabbed the fish when we lifted it in. We asked several times to get our sons more involved and build out the experience but never really got to that point. It turned into a full day fishing observation trip. That might be what some folks like...If so, these guys are really good. Just wasn't exactly what we were looking for.
