Captain Duke and his first mate were amazing!
Half Day Trip - 1:00 PM on May 19, 20264 adults2 children
Captain Duke and his first mate were amazing! We had a great time on this fishing charter from start to finish. The captain and mate were friendly, knowledgeable, and worked hard to make sure everyone had a great experience including the kids! The boat was clean, comfortable, and well-equipped, and they knew exactly where to find the fish. Whether you’re experienced or a first-time fisherman, they make the trip fun and easy. We caught plenty of fish, learned a lot, and made some great memories on the water. You can tell they truly care about their guests having a successful and enjoyable trip. Highly recommend this charter to anyone looking for a fantastic day fishing!

Captain Duke 3/4 day
3/4 Day Trip on May 14, 20263 adults
We had a wonderful day on the water with Captain Duke and mate Gaven! we were on fish within five minutes of dipping a line. Once that spot dried up, they were quick to shift to another location to put us on fish again. We would definitely book with Captain Duke again!! Thanks for the great memories!

Best Experience
Half Day Trip - 11:00 AM on April 10, 20263 adults
We had the absolute best fishing experience with Duke and Gavin! We’ll definitely be booking another trip with them. They’re genuinely amazing guys, and you can tell they truly love what they do out on the water. We were a little worried we might not catch anything, but we ended up landing nine fish—such an awesome and memorable day from start to finish! Hands down the best experience. Thank you both for an unforgettable trip!!

Captain Duke and Gavin were great
Half Day Trip - 11:00 AM on April 2, 20266 adults
Our trip was early in the season the water was still cold and catching was a little slow, but Captain Duke kept moving around, trying to find a great spot for us. Gavin was informative and knew a lot about the area and what we were catching. We also saw turtles, spinner sharks, and dolphins. It was a great day for me and my kids

Amazing Time on the Water
Full Day Trip on August 1, 20252 adults
Both the captain and first mate know their stuff. You know you have the right captain when every boat on the water attempts to follow him. We started near shore for some mahi. Then ran into the beach for a shot at some blues. Sure, the day and weather were perfect , but this crew took advantage of the fish biting. It was non-stop reeling. 2 of us (boat can handle more) and we caught 127lbs of mahi, blues, and Spanish mackerel. 100% recommend!
Reported catch:
Spanish Mackerel
Bluefish (Tailor)
