Great day with Captain Billy!
5/5
We booked a 4 hour trip with Maxed Out Charters and couldn't be happier with the day! Captain Billy took us to a spot where we caught dozens of sea trout with many keepers! We also caught a handful of small gag groupers, no keepers - but fun to catch! We then went on the hunt for red fish and we did find a few, but no keepers. What a great day!

My wife and I and our 2 sons had a fantastic day on the water with Captain Jimmy! He was very enthusiastic and energetic our whole trip. He kept us on fish all day, in various locations. We caught our limit of Speckled Trout, several Mangrove Snapper, Snook (one of which was 34 inches), Jack Crevalle, Gag Grouper and a Cobia! We highly recommend Captain Jimmy. Thanks Captain!

Half day trip with Capt Scott
4/5
We had a good time overall with Capt Scott. We caught Gag Grouper, Sea Trout, Snook, and a good sized Redfish. The only thing I would change is to let everyone cast their own bait if they want to. Sometimes he would cast for us, and it didn’t seem like it was it your fish when someone else does the work for you. He knows how to put you on the fish though.

What a day!
5/5
We booked a 4 hr inshore trip with Cap’t. Billy. We caught fish at every stop. This was a first time for my partner and he caught multiple Snapper and trout, 2sharks, a jack and some catfish. I caught snook, a flounder, and yes, more catfish.we saw dolphin and manatees as well. Billy was good at managing time and making sure we were catching. He was pleasant and taught us a lot. The boat was perfect. Highly recommend Billy!
