Anthony is the best!
5/5
My wife and I booked a charter as complete “never fished in our lives” amateurs. We randomly found Anthony on the app, and he was amazing. He made us feel competent and comfortable right off the bat and we started catching fish right away. We had a great trip and caught fish for both food and sport. Truly a perfect experience that we will 100% book again. Anthony knows all the ins and outs of angling and is amazing for novices and experts alike. If we could give him 6 stars we would!

The captain made sure that he knew exactly what I wanted out of the trip. He developed a plan for that to happen. I completely relied upon him and he did not disappoint. I would recommend him to anyone. I will be returning to him specifically for future trips.
