Half day offshore - 8:00 AM on July 14, 2026 • 5 adults • 2 childrenWe had a great day fighting Cobia fighting sharks, my arms are going to be hurting tomorrow! Tony is a very experienced, knowledgable Captain. And despite my banana on board (if you didn’t know they are bad luck; look it up!) we caught a few Cobia and King Fish which made a great lunch for my family. Thank you for a great day out.

Sightseeing / Fishing - 4:00 PM on July 4, 2026 • 4 adultsOur family booked sightseeing/fishing trip and had a great time. Most of us were super novice at fishing and Capt. Tony not only helped but taught us a lot us on how to reel in all types of fish. We caught so many different species. The biggest one was the shark in the pictures.

2 hr beginner/ kids trip on July 30, 2025 • 6 adultsTook the adult kids out for a quick fishing trip with captain tony!! It was a beautiful morning and got a jump on the heat.

We had a great day on the water with Captain Tony; he's a super nice guy, and he knows the waters like the back of his hand. We caught our dinner for the night, which was awesome and fed all 6 of us. He even had us fishing for a good amount of extra time, which was awesome. The boat was very comfy as well, as none of us got seasick and there was a good amount of swell. I would definitely recommend this to anyone looking to get out on the water and have a day and even catch their own dinner! Thank you, Tony, and I will definitely give you a call next time we are in town.
Booked the 3 hour morning trip and captain was waiting at dock entrance. Very stable boat lots of room..actually roomiest 31 foot boat I've been on. Captain Tony worked very hard getting lines out and he knew where to fish and he got us on the fish. If bottom fishing got alttle slow he switched technics and we did some trolling. He had plenty of gear and bait and if you want a local guy with everything needed for time on the water Tony is a great choice.
Taking for fishing with me and look forward to your next trip
So we were supposed to go Snapper fishing, but there was a legal injunction, but Captain Tony was able to pivot and put us on some fish anyway. We didnt caught as many as we wanted to, (but isn’t that always the case?) regardless we walked away with a number of fish that we could fillet and have a fantastic dinner that evening…. Great time and my son and I would recommend.
enjoed haveing yall look forward to taking yall again
Captain Tony took great care of us. He was very patient with our tackle mishaps and we all learned a lot from him. There was rarely a time when one of us didn’t have a fish on, sometimes doubles. Caught just the right number of keepers for lunch for our group of five at The Salty Pelican. We’re all ready to do it again!
We had a great day fighting Cobia fighting sharks, my arms are going to be hurting tomorrow! Tony is a very experienced, knowledgable Captain. And despite my banana on board (if you didn’t know they are bad luck; look it up!) we caught a few Cobia and King Fish which made a great lunch for my family. Thank you for a great day out.
