Great day of fishing!
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.

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.

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.

6 Hour Trip – Spring Break (PM) on March 28, 2025 • 8 adults
Took my family of 12 and caught a ton of fish and a shark! Trip my whole family at a nearby restaurant who cooked all the fish we wanted for $10 per person and plenty to bring back to Ohio. Captain put us right on the Fish several times and boat was great for anyone who wanted to go inside and eat / rest or nap.
