Perfect day on the water
5/5
Zane was fantastic with our crew. We had one that loved to fish and Zane answered all his questions. One that had never caught fish but got so many today! We took the fish home and even got a lesson on the best ceviche. Thank you for an amazing family adventure that made memories for years to come. My favorite part? Outrunning the storm clouds at the end. My family can’t stop talking about the day!

Great Fishing Trip with Captain Zane
5/5
My nephew, sister, and I had a great fishing trip with Capt. Zane. He is a great fishing guide. He is very nice and courteous. He also gives excellent tips to make one a better angler. This is my first time fishing with Capt. Zane, and I definitely will repeat a trip wth him next summer. In a half-day, we caught all together 12 fish (a mix of blue fish, sheepshead, and speckled sea trout). It was great fun. Thank you Capt. Zane!

Great trip for family
5/5
My eight year old son is so interested in fishing, and I don’t know much about it. We went out with Captain Zane and probably caught a dozen fish of a few kinds! The Captain was very knowledgeable and patient, teaching us and giving us a great day out on the water. He even filleted a fish for us when we got back so I could cook it. Highly recommend. We hope to come again!
