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.

Great Boat , Staff & Crew

VERIFIED

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.
