Fish, fish and more fish!
5/5
I have been on a lot of charters and this was the best yet. Captain TJ knows where the fish are. We started catching fish from the first cast and didn’t stop. We had dozens of fish in the boat let alone the ones we released. On top of that TJ and his first mate are a pleasure to spend time with. I’d give them 10 stars if I could.

Good Experience
5/5
My 10 year old son and I went out with Ryan and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Ryan is very professional, safety conscious, and extremely patient. We caught lots of fish and Ryan was extremely proficient at helping/supporting us with baiting and removal. Overall just a really good experience and morning out on the water with a captain that is focused on providing excellent service and an awesome experience.

We had an unforgettable experience with Freshbait Fishing Charters! Captains Marco and Dorian were absolutely our kind of people—laid-back, friendly, and clearly know their stuff. The vibe on the boat was on point from start to finish, and we caught an impressive amount of fish that kept the excitement going all day.
