You should bring a camera, sunglasses, sunblock, a cap, non-marking shoes, and food and drinks. The fishing license is included in the trip rates. And, if you can't find a spot here, worry not.

We caught 2 really nice fish; one yellowtail snapper & one red gag. We went out with Forrest and he was very nice and attentive. We caught a ton of fish which was fun, but they were mostly small fish. The coolest fish i saw on the trip was the strawberry grouper (I think) I think there were lots of sharks or barracuda in the area because each time a big fish bit, another fish would rob us. The boat was very nice and overall a great experience, I’m glad we were put on fish and had fun.

Wanted to “catch and cook” back at our hotel that night. needed fish for 12 people. captain took a good run out to where the fish were biting. Everyone caught and had plenty for dinner. Great captain and a good smooth riding boat. Great trip!
The captain was extremely knowledgeable, kind and constantly working to put us on fish. Great trip! Highly recommend!

thank you for the excellent review and coming fishing with us we appreciate the business and look forward to having you back soon

Under tough conditions, Captain Ben remained vigilant and afte a few moves, put us on fish. I appreciated the effort!
