8 Hour Trip on July 27, 20253 adults1 child

What a day on the water. I can’t thank Captain Craig and Deckhand Brandon enough for the hospitality and experience. We booked an 8hr trip which allowed time to experience some trolling as well as bottom fishing. This was a family trip for a birthday celebration which they made sure to focus on our son catching all he wanted plus some. As a business owner - being personable is a must in the service business, these guys knocked it out of the park! Catch ya next time Captain Craig and Brandon!!

Reported catch:
Red Snapper
Spanish Mackerel

Great fishing trip!
6 Hour Trip AM on September 22, 20256 adults

Great Charter boat, Captain, and crew! The fishing the day of the charter was challenging to say the least but Captain C and the deckhand Brandon did their absolute best to put us on the fish. We caught a ton of fish and although we weren't able to keep very many due to size restriction's, we still had a great time. Highly recommend this Charter!
