An unforgettable adventure
5/5
Our fabulous captain, MaryAnne, brought her expertise and vibrant spirit, while her first mate, Sean, was a relentless force, tirelessly ensuring our experience was nothing short of exceptional.
From the moment we stepped onto the impeccably clean boat, We cast our lines and soon reeled in an array of catches. The thrill of hooking several mahi was just the beginning – yellowtail snapper, barracudas, bonito, and even little tuna danced at the end of our lines!

Top-Notch Charter with a Great Crew — Turned a Slow Bite into a Solid Catch!
5/5
Had an awesome time out on the water with Tommy and Erik! The bite started off slow, but these guys went above and beyond to make the most of the day. Their energy, experience, and determination paid off—we ended up landing 3 beautiful Mahi, a yellowtail snapper, and a solid mackerel. Can’t say enough about how professional and fun they made the whole trip. Highly recommend this charter—whether the fish are biting or not, you’re guaranteed a great time with this crew. Will definitely be back!

Maryann and Sean were excellent with our first time fishing encounter. We were successful in catching many yellowtail snapper and even caught a few Barracuda. They even gave us a recommendation on where to take our fish to eat for lunch after they bagged them up for us. Amazing time! Thank you! We will be back again.
