Great experience.
5/5
Do not let Hayden's youth fool you. This young man is a top tier professional. He is friendly, knowledgeable, and a true master of his craft. We brought nothing but inexperience onto his boat, he really went over and above to make this a wonderful experience for us all. We enjoyed our trip so much that we are already talking about when to book our next trip out. Can't wait, spring can't come fast enough.

I took my family of 5 out with Captain Brian. He was awesome. He communicated well pre-trip, was prompt, has a great boat and great equipment. He made it relaxed and fun. He knows where the fish are and is attentive to your needs. I have a friend coming here in a few months and I’ve already recommended Brian!

Hayden was a great ship Captain
5/5
Hayden was very patient with my boys, helping them catch hammerheads. Hayden knew where the fish were at and made or time memorable. We will definitely be booking with him again directly, not through fishing booker.

5/5
Great trip with Captain Brian, he took us to a few different spots and we caught 9+ fish, shark and stingray! Not to mention got a guided tour of the bay. Caught and kept two fish that Captain Brian cleaned and filleted meticulously! Incredible experience and I could not recommend more!

My grandkids wanted to go fishing and Captain Stephen’s site mentioned he accommodated new anglers and kids. And he didn’t disappoint. He was so patient and seemed to genuinely enjoy teaching and sharing his passion. Caught a few fish and didn’t melt in the rain. Great Communicator and reached out before the trip to make sure we knew where to go. My grandson was already planning a future shark-fishing trip.
