Best Fishing Trip Hands Down
Kids Trip - 8:00 AM on March 26, 20261 adult2 children
Booked the 3 hour kids charter for my 5/yo son and 12/yo nephew. Capt Keith was phenomenal. He was able to connect with the kids and kept them smiling and entertained. Surprisingly, I never once hear, “Dad, I’m bored.” No joke, no lie- we had a bite on EVERY SINGLE CAST! As soon as the bait would hit the bottom and we’d start reeling in, fish on! First cast (and every for that matter) on both sides had fish on. We hit our limit on vermillion snapper in 1.5 hours. I’m afraid this trip has spoiled future charters for the kids (they’re going to expect to catch fish like this every time now lol). Thank you Capt Keith, you were great! I’ll never book another trip out of PCB with any other Captain!

Kids trip was perfect
3 Hour Trip — Kids Special on April 15, 20261 adult2 children
I brought my six-year-old daughter out for the three hour kids trip and it was incredible. The captain did an amazing job at teaching her how to fish and putting us on fish that were within her skill level. The boat was super clean and super safe. We got on fish almost immediately and stayed on fish the entire time. There was no pressure and a lot of really fun ways to learn about fishing. I will 100% be booking again and hopefully every year that I come down to Florida.

Best adventure on the water ever!
4 Hour Trip — Captain's Choice - 12:00 PM on March 27, 20264 adults
Captain Keith was absolutely amazing to spend the day with! He handled just about everything—short of dropping the line in and reeling the fish in for us. 🎣 He knows all the best spots, and you can truly tell he loves what he does and takes pride in every charter. Hands down one of the best experiences—highly recommend booking with Captain Keith. I will definitely be back!
