Eight-hour offshore trip
5/5
Got into multiple schools of yellowfin tuna and had at least 5 doubles and even a few triples. Put 28 tuna in the cooler, and then the captain put us directly over some amazing sea bass and snapper spots. There’s no replacement for local knowledge, a great boat and one-foot seas. Next time, we’ll do the full blue water run and chase sails, wahoo and mahi. Highly recommended!

Great day of fishing!
5/5
This was a great trip for the whole family, we all hooked into fish and had a few keepers to take home. Capt Rich showed us a few fishing spots, all had a few fish each, and was helpful and knowledgeable. I would highly recommend this to people that want to have a super cool fishing experience in the calmer backwaters.

Captain Ben and his helper Chase are just awesome. Fishing size wasn’t what we were expecting but I can tell captain knows what he does. We caught fishes in every single spot he took us but unfortunately none of there keepers. We had a great trip though and we’ll choose them again
