Amazing Fishing trip
12 Hour Trip – Deep Sea 53 Ocean on July 14, 20234 adults1 child

The waters were rough on the way out and Captain Lee made us as comfortable as possible. He maneuvered the boat to be as smooth as possible. He always made sure we were on the fish and moved if we needed to. Our family had a great time and will definitely book with him again.

Overnight trip with Captain Lee Crisler and crew of Ocean Breeze Charters
2 Day Overnig Trip – Pelagic / Tuna on July 10, 20222 adults

Went out on an 36-hour trip with Captain Lee and his crew that produced a big batch of fish including a big Red Snapper, several nice Tilefish (including one trophy sized fish!), a couple of real nice Yellow Edge Groupers, King Mackerel, Spanish Mackerel, and Mah-Mahi. Captain Lee did a great job of getting us on the fish. Thank you all very much Captain Lee, First Mate Colt, Deckhand Shawn, and Scotty. We’re already booking our next fishing adventure with this great team. Tuna next time! Get hooked up!

12 Hour Trip with Captain Lee
12 Hour Trip – Deep Sea 53 Ocean on July 19, 20212 adults

Captain Lee and his first mate Joe took my son and I out on our first ever deep sea fishing trip and it was a blast! They worked hard to put us on the fish and provided everything we needed for a safe, comfortable and most importantly, FUN trip. We caught some Red Snapper and also some Mahi. Captain Lee communicated with me before the trip to keep me informed on what I needed to know. I would not hesitate to book another trip with these guys, they were awesome! Thanks Captain Lee and Joe! You made this a great first experience that my son and I will never forget!
