Unforgettable Family Fishing Adventure – Highly Recommend!
6 Hour Trip – Spring Season on April 6, 2026 • 7 adults • 2 children
We had an absolutely amazing deep sea fishing trip! From start to finish, the crew went above and beyond—especially with the kids. They were patient, encouraging, and made sure every child felt involved and excited the entire time.
Even though the weather wasn’t ideal for fishing, they still put us on the fish and made it such a successful trip. We caught way more than we expected, and the highlight of the day was watching one of the kids reel in an incredible 25 lb, 36-inch red snapper—a moment we’ll never forget!
The crew’s expertise, positive attitude, and ability to keep the experience fun (even in less-than-perfect conditions) truly set them apart. If you’re looking for a family-friendly charter that delivers both memories and results, this is the one.
We’ll definitely be back! 🌟

5 Hour Trip – Nov-Feb on November 26, 2025 • 10 adults • 5 children
Great communication from beginning to end. A well trained staff that helped all of our kids (and adults) catch a ton of fish. We had a blast. The boat is huge, clean and stocked with everything you need to catch fish. And the Captain and his wife are amazing. They even let us have a burial at sea prior to fishing. The crew even helped us reel in a 7 foot shark. We had such a great time. Can't wait to book them again.

6 Hour Trip – Nov-Feb on December 30, 2025 • 7 adults • 2 children
The captain and crew did a fantastic job of putting us on fish all day. We had a group of 8 with first timers and younger kids. The crew was patient and made sure everyone was having a great time. We were constantly reeling in fish at every stop- snapper, trigger fish, grouper and even had a shark alongside the ship.
I’m looking forward to the next trip already and will defintely book again.

Thanks to Captain Stan and his crew, our party has the current rodeo wahoo leader on the board. And that was just one of several great fish we caught. A good time was had by all.
