Great Fishing Experience
Half Day Trip – Nearshore on June 19, 2025
This was my family’s first fishing charter and Captain Steven made sure we were all comfortable with the boat and the poles the entire time. He kept us baited up and with our lines in the water. If fish weren’t biting at one spot he didn’t hesitate to move us to another. At the end of the trip he filleted the fish we caught and we were able to cook delicious fish tacos that evening with the fish we caught. All in all it was a great experience!

Full Day Trip – Inshore on June 27, 2025
Really enjoyed fishing with Capt. Steve, who worked hard to put us on fish. My firest snook was exciting as were the next two. Some trout and mangrove snappers also hit the deck. Reapply your sunscreen, the Florida sun in June takes no prisoners.

Full Day Trip – Inshore on July 8, 2025
Captain was awesome, the boat was very comfortable for four people to move around. Caught lots of different fish. Captain also baited the hooks and removed the fish. He was fantastic.

Captain Stephen did a great job. Kept our poles baited and moved us to new locations when we weren't getting bites. Caught my first turpon and it was a awesome experience.

Half Day Trip – Inshore on February 4, 2025
In tough conditions with cool temperatures, sea fog and worsening seas, Captain Steve was able to put us on a wide variety of fish in multiple locations throughout the day and the last hour was crazy with countless fish if ever increasing size. Highly recommend and a great Captain. Thank you. Peter and Mark (Canada)
