Half Day Trip (AM) on February 12, 2026 • 2 adults
Captain Josh put us on the fish during a cold snap and we had no problem filling the fish box with sheephead keepers! As soon as we lost our bait he had another shrimp ready to go. Snagged line ? No problem he handed me another ready to fish pole and got that one re-rigged. Fish On ! He was right there with the net . What I liked was he really spent time with the wife getting her going and helping her catch fish while I was catching them on the other side of the boat.
When we got to the dock he went to town on the fish and gave us a whole bag of filets !
Really can’t say enough about how good Captain Josh took care of us and now I’m trying to squeeze another trip in with him before we leave!

Wife and I caught a variety of fish...large and small. Temperatures did not cooperate at the start, but the day improved as each hour of our private booking passed. We are looking forward to our next trip to the Sarasota area. Captain Josh even took time to get us to a picture perfect stop for the sunset. Definitely one of our top memories of this trip. Thank you!

2-Hour Inshore A.M. on July 24, 2025 • 2 adults • 1 child
Took a 2hr charter because of unsure people’s stomach. Captain was a great guy and checked to make sure everyone was feeling great. We all learned about the types of fish we were going to catch and the technique on how to catch them. Definitely family friendly and also ready for a guys outing. Afterwards he took the time to prepare the fish for a local restaurant to prepare if we chose. Only complaint not enough time. 👍🏻
