Well worth it
4 Hour Trip – Trolling (pm) on July 23, 20255 adults

To be very clear, you’re paying a charter to put you on the fish, given that fish don’t always bite it is important to keep in mind that even the best captains can’t always make it happen. I got a call the day before saying the fish had stopped eating around 9. He asked us to come in at 6 instead of 7 for our best chances and he was right. The captain knows the waters and the fish. We lost 3 good sized fish and landed 8 others in a matter of 4 hours. These guys deserve a 10 star review because they went above and beyond what was asked. I will be booking again.

Captain was friendly and got us where the fish were.It was our first deep sea fishing experience. We were able to have our fish cleaned and processed by the boat also.Which is very convenient. we will probably try the 6 hour trip next year.

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!!

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!

Reported catch:
Red Snapper
Gag Grouper
