Fun Day Catching Sails

6 Hour Trip on December 23, 2022

Let me start off by mentioning how personable Captain Jason is! He is extremely well versed as a Captain and an angler. The boat is recently refitted with new everything! It was a little choppy due to the wind, but the boat rode fine! We booked a quarter day to go kite fishing and Captain Jason (plus the fish Gods) delivered. We caught two sails and a little Mahi that went right back in. Furthermore, I believe this trip was outstanding because of Captain Jason's attentiveness and amazing teaching skills. We felt comfortable and safe at all times. 100000% recommend Captain Jason on the Cool Runnings! Definitely booking an ALL DAY trip next time, I can't wait to be back out there again.

2 Hour Trip – Fishing Intro on July 10, 2023

My sons and I had so much fun! It was our first time offshore fishing and what an experience it was. Captain Jason was so knowledgeable and so good with my kids. They can't stop talking about it. My older son Adrian is already planning to go back out again in April when we're in town again. We can't wait!

Run & Gun (Find the bite) on August 9, 2023

Had a great time going looking for mahi, got on a lot they just happened to be below keeper for the majority. Got some other cool fish we got to keep like kingfish and jack. Captain is a cool guy, knows what he’s doing, and has a passion for his craft.

Captain Jason was everything I had hoped for. His boat was set-up and prepared perfectly. He went far beyond to provide the best experience for his clients. I will be back to continue the experience.
