My 5-year-old son and I booked a fishing trip with Derek, and it was an outstanding experience from start to finish. Derek was fantastic with my son—patient, encouraging, and eager to teach him about fishing. Not only did my son learn a lot, but Derek also helped him catch plenty of fish, which made the trip even more exciting.

At one point, I mentioned that my son had seen fishermen using a cast net on TV to catch minnows for bait. Derek went out of his way to make that happen, giving my son the chance to try it himself. It was one of the highlights of the trip and something he’ll remember for a long time.

Derek was also very accommodating and flexible. He agreed to move our start time a couple of hours earlier to better fit our family’s schedule, which we greatly appreciated. He arrived on time, was professional throughout the trip, and clearly has a wealth of fishing knowledge.

I highly recommend Derek to anyone looking for a great fishing experience, especially families with young children. We had an amazing time and will definitely be booking another trip with him in the future.

I booked this as a fathers day gift for my husband to go with his dad and our oldest son. Everyone had a great time and these are memories to last a lifetime ❤️ caught too many fish to count and captain was very knowledgable and a kind host!

Captain Derek was awesome. Professional, extremely knowledgeable, and a very fun guide. His boat and equipment were very clean and worked great. Captain Derek was easy to communicate with before the trip. I would highly recommend Unwrapped Charters. We will definitely be booking more trips with Captain Derek in the future.

We took this trip to celebrate my son’s 7th birthday. Derek truly enhanced our experience. Regardless of our skill level, he was eager to assist with everything we required and helped us catch fish… and we caught LOTS. It was an amazing adventure with a fantastic guide, and we will certainly return.
