3/4 day OFFSORE GULFSTREAM on July 26, 2025
Before boarding the Labrador I was messaging the caption (Erik) back and forth explaining to him this trip is about my little brother and I want to change his perspective over fishing. Fishing with Erik the morning was slow not a single bite… out of no where we got slammed by a monster sailfish. Within the same 2 hours got hit by a tuna, king Mack, barracudas, bonitas, and another sailfish to finish the trip. Needless to say, captain Erik had us in some of the best spots to make sure this trip was absolutely memorable and will serve as a monumental day in our lives. I couldn’t be happier. Thanks Erik

Half Day Trip (AM) on May 7, 2025
Hands down an amazing experience Captain Erik and first mate Chris were on the ball! He checking in and asked what we were looking for and delivered! Very knowledgeable! Caught a wide variety of exotic fish which was what we were looking for! Also caught a sailfish which was on my bucket list! They were on a mission to get us everything we were looking for! Recommended getting live fish makes the experience that much more!

Captain Erik and Chris were Great to be with!! Although the fishing was slow they both worked hard to find the fish, all 3 boys caught fish. Chris was non stop in working the poles and bait, we were very impressed with both of these guys. Captain Erik explained a lot to us and we had great conversations during the trip, highly recommend Labrador Charters and will be using them again on our next trip.

The crew got me on fish quickly, as soon and we were out the of the inlet all the line were screaming. This was an amazing experience. To see the sunrise on such an awesome background, words can’t describe how beautiful this place is. Thank you Captain Eric and Captain Chris.
