We started out early and fished all day. The big was great the crew new what they where doing and the captain new where the fish was and keep us on them. The boat was amazing very nice and updated. Accommodations were great. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. We will definitely be back again next year if not sooner. The Carly A will not disappoint!! I urge everyone to give the captain a call if you want the experience of a lifetime fishing!!!

Full Day Trip – Gulf Stream

Awesome Full Day Trip - Grateful to the Crew

VERIFIED

Captain Jon really handled business. He was down for reasons outside of his control, but brought in Captain Justin to handle our trip. Captain Justin and the First Mate Will were just awesome! They busted their tails the entire day, and never stopped hunting for the bite. I’ve been on a lot of boats with a lot of crews, and I have rarely had such an enjoyable experience on a trip. Sure, we didn’t catch everything we were looking for, but these guys were so interactive and personable that even if we would have it wouldn’t have made it any better. Nothing better than a nice boat, a Captain and crew with plenty of fight in their hearts and a safe trip. There was not a single complaint from anyone I took. My only hope is that we clearly shared our appreciation for the work they put in. I hope anyone reading this takes the opportunity to book and treats the crew the same. No telling how many trips I’ve been on over the years, but this one will always stand out as being one of the most fun days I’ve had on a charter! For that I’m truly grateful, and I can’t wait to step foot on the Carly A again!

Had a great time on the Carly A! I knew I picked the right boat! The captain put us on the fish, just had a hard time getting them past the sharks! I am a little delayed on my review because I wanted know if the captain was right about the tile fish being a better eating fish than tuna. I do have to say after cooking both a few different ways, he was correct in the tile fish being better! Thank you for the great trip and the great memories!

Full day for Tuna

Boat was amazing. Had good a/c and was very comfortable inside. Had a slow day unfortunately but that’s part of the game when it comes to fishing. Even with the slow fishing across the fleet we still caught a limit of tile fish (taste amazing btw) and a few good sized mahi. Not my best day offshore but it was definitely worth it and would highly recommend these guys. The captain and mate are very accommodating as well.
