We went out to the bay with Captain David and my brother on a beautiful, sunny Thursday. Had an incredible day full of laughs and fish. Absolutely would go again and will be booking him for Tarpon fishing when my uncle and dad come into town.

Masterful captain
5/5
Captain Max is the master of his domain. I took my three nephews on a short trip but wasn’t expecting a grand slam- gator trout, slot red and a tarpon to boot! The boys loved it! Captain is highly professional, great manner with guests and really knows his water inside and out!
