We had an incredible fishing trip with Captain Max and couldn’t have asked for a better experience. From the moment we got on the water, it was clear how knowledgeable
and confident he was even though no one else seemed to be out fishing that day, Captain Max knew exactly where the fish were. He put us on fish right away.
We quickly caught our limit of Black Drum and Redfish, and then went on to catch Speckled Trout as well. The action was nonstop.
We’ve been on several guided fishing trips before, and this one was by far the most memorable. My two sons were on this trip and Captain Max was incredibly patient and great with them. You can genuinely tell that he loves what he does, and that passion shows in how he runs his trips and interacts with his guests.
Highly recommend! We’ll definitely be back!

We signed up for the offshore trip and boy it did not dissapoint. We headed right out to the big water in hopes to beat the wind and waves for a couple hours. Captin Max put us right on the fish immediately. Within the first hour we had our 3 man limit of Beeliner! We quickly switched out gear and decided to target Red Grouper. Once again we were in the fish within minutes. Pulling up 10 or so in a very short amount of time. At this point we had to head back inland due to hard winds and heavy surf. We made it back into the bay with an hour to spare. So Captin Max set us up with trolling gear to target Spanish Mackerel. By the end of our morning we had enough Mackerel for a 2 man limit!
We couldnt be happier with our choice of Charter. Captin Max is super knowledgeable, friendly and fun to be around.
Highly recommend to anyone at any skill level. Looking forward to doing this again!

Had a great trip out with Max. my son (12yr) and I went out for the offshore 4 hr trip. Max was fun, helpful and made the trip a really fun experience for us. Highly recommend, great with kids. Understood our priority on keeping kiddo engaged with more catches rather than long waits hoping to hook a big one, and adapted accordingly.  Max took us to a few spots as well as some closer to shore, and we had a great time. Caught red snapper, Squirrelfish, Sheephead, Triggerfish and others. Great time and would recommend anytime, especially if you have kids with you.

Captain Max was the best!

Friendly and helpful but without being bossy. This was an anniversary trip for me and my husband, and we love to fish but don’t know a whole lot about ocean fishing. Captain Max taught us some tricks and was such a pleasure to hang out with. We caught flounder, red fish, croaker, sea trout, catfish and Pig fish.  Capt Max took us to several little honey holes and kept us where the fish were biting! It was an awesome time and we will definitely go back! Highly reccomend “Maxed Out” fishing!!

If you are looking for a great captain who does more than just take you to the fish, book you a trip with captain Max. As first timers, we were a little nervous about hitting the sea but he completely put us at ease. He didn’t just bait hooks he actually took the time to teach us about the art of fishing and shared knowledge about the sea. By the end of the fishing trip we didn’t just leave with some fish but also with an appreciation for the water and skill set required. Would definitely use maxed out guide fishing on our next return to PCB.
