Great Day!

Catching fish is always a challenge, we didn't have much luck, caught two, but the captain/crew worked REALLY hard to try to make it a good experience for my grandsons. We moved often to find best spots, equipment was excellent, fishing finding equipment was top notch. They were VERY helpful with the 10 & 14 yr old. Although we didn't have a lot of luck, I will book them again next year, Beautiful boat!

Captain Brandon and Korbin were great, we had a fun day and they were very helpful to put us right on the fish. Memorable day on the water celebrating my brothers birthday, we’ll be back! Thank you!

The half day trip was a blast, this is the first time for my siblings, nephews, and myself to do this. We did a half day to try it out and it was a fun experience for all of us and had a great time. For our next trip we will be doing a full day. This was to get our feet wet and see how it turned out. Overall experience was excellent, doing the private charter is honestly the way to go. No crowded boats just your party of six the captain and his first mate. Something private and not basket weaving the whole time. At the end of the day it's worth it and honestly, I would recommend it every time.

Even though other boats were coming in due to the wind our Captain Brandon pushed on and it ended up being great, put us on some fish and it was a great day. Going out on the full day next
