Family Fishing Excursion on May 23, 2023 • 12 adultsCaptain Richard provided us with an amazing experience which will be a talked about memory for a lifetime. A group of us parents took our kids on a beach trip to celebrate completing middle school. Nearly every kid caught a shark, including the siblings. We even saw a hammer head and dolphins! Captain Richard was very knowledgeable and fun. Took time to learn all our names including the kids. Was the only boat who was willing and able to accommodate our group of 12 going together. Would definitely do it again and will plan to book with Captain Richard when we return!
