Captain Carlos, who owns and runs the charter, loves taking kids out and teaching them how to fish properly by explaining the fish, the techniques, and how to reel your catch in.
Captain Carlos operates a 30-foot Baha offshore sport fishing boat, originally built in 1985, and restored in 2015. This beauty is powered by two 300 HP Suzuki engines, with a maximum cruising speed of 40 knots.

Families and children are welcomed and encouraged to come and spend a day or just a few hours with him. You will experience catching a multitude of species on a day that you'll remember forever!

Carlos was great with communication and answering all wuestions before we booked! The weather wasn’t going to allow us the trip we booked but Carlos reqched out with options and went above and beyond to give us the experience we were hoping for! Loved the excitement they had when we had fish on! Jeremy and Carlos were so much fun!
Thank you so much for the kind words!
After 6 hours of fishing we caught the maximum limit of sheepshead before heading back in. Both Captain Carlos and Captain Jeremy were very helpful and assisted us whenever we needed to reset our hooks or snagged on a rock. Great time, great fishing, and great vibes. Highly recommend to anyone looking to do saltwater fishing.
Thank you so much !
If you want to catch fish and your in the area of this charter, this is the ticket!!! The captain and crew are phenomenal, very helpful, puts you on the fish, and just an all around great trip, we will be back to do another trip with this captain and crew soon!!!
We used Bottoms up last spring and enjoyed it so much we booked them again. Went out on a 4hr trip and caught so many fish!! Had so much fun, would recommend Captain Carlos and his crew to anyone looking for an enjoyable time.
Kids and mom went to Demitris with some of the fish. Laughed telling stories of the day. They had a wonderful time and caught mega fish. Highlight of their vacation. Kirk states: 'Next time let's venture further. My most fun was watching my kids have so much fun and they learned a lot also. We will never look further for a day fishing except with Bottoms UP, you and your mate"
Thank you so much for the kind words !
