Offshore Fishing US Air Force Captain & Mate 

Captain Art communicated well leading up to the trip. When he found out that we didn’t have a full group, he offered to fill open spots with folks that were willing to pay their way.(we didn’t take him up on it, but that was super cool). As we were heading out on a holiday weekend, he asked that we go earlier than planned to avoid the crazy. Also super cool. The good service didn’t stop with pre-trip communication. First, we were asked if we wanted to target any specific species. Art demonstrated solid knowledge of the various migratory patterns, habits and habitats of the fish. The mate, Travis, was also pretty awesome. Good natured, knowledgeable and unafraid to work. Travis also knew a great deal about the fish we were after. Once we dropped lines in, the professionalism continued. If we didn’t see reasonably quick results, Art didn’t play. He would bounce to another promising spot, and if we found light activity or sharky waters, he’d move again. He kept an eye on what the other captains were reporting to ensure we were always in the most optimal position we could be in. All in all, if you’re fishing out of Port Canaveral and you can get Captain Art and Travis, get them. Thank you for making our trip great, guys.

Everything worked out great for a trip of a lifetime. Capt Art and his deck mate, Travis, were outstanding! The weather was great with calm seas and low winds. Capt Art put us on all kinds of fish when other boats were reporting very little to no catches. I would highly recommend an outing with Arts Adventures. I really think having a deck hand was way to go as Travis was extremely helpful with everything while the captain kept us right on the fish from the flying bridge.

We could not be happier with our trip. Captain Art was on the ball keeping an eye on the weather before the trip and kept me updated the entire time. I'm grateful he puts his customers safety above making money, which is rare. We luckily had amazing weather. Captain Art and his first mate John made our experience one we will all remember for a lifetime. We went with a group of 6 and all of us caught at least 5 fish each. They were beyond patient with us! John was a master at keeping all of the lines from getting tangled and hauling in mutliple fish at a time. Not only did we catch a ton of fish but we saw some really cool things like leather back turtles, dolphins, flying fish, sharks and jelly fish. While John was baiting hooks and keeping the fish biting, he explained why they do what they do and actually taught us a lot while we were on the boat. I could not reccomend them more. It can be scary being that far away from shore but we all felt extremely safe with Art's experience. The boat was perfect too. It's a great size with a bathroom and plenty of shade. I can't wait to go again and will use Art's Adventures in the future. Thank you Captain Art and John!

Full day trip with 3 senior anglers, we started out on time as scheduled. At the first stop we had a fish on within 5 minutes. We fished about 6 different locations with fish at every one. Our first mate John was very quick and attentive, Captain Art even provided us with some remedial training on “ HOW IT’S DONE.” All of us caught fish , King Mackerel, Cobia, Red Snapper ( which we could not keep), Vermilion Snapper, Amber Jack, Bonita and a shark. A Great experience I would highly recommend Art’s Adventures. Ken from Charleston, SC

Beautiful day on the water. Capt. knew where to find the fish and both he and the mate were full of great advice. Full speed from one sight to the next to ensure we got as much fishing as possible.

We originally wanted a 1/2 day trip but after talking with Captain Art decided a 3/4 day would be better. He put us right on the fish caught groupers and red snappers and had something to large to get all the way in that we believe were coupe hundred pound sharks. Overall great day fishing and would recommend to anyone wanting to fish.

Comfortable boat with great crew. Professional, knowledgeable and fun! Lots to catch. Great day deep sea fishing… went for 9 hrs, could have even went for more we had such a great day. Will book again!

Captain Art and kelvin were great. Both were very professional and knew where the fish were. Took 3 grandsons for their first deep sea trip.

Great experienced captain, with safe and comfy boat. Art and first mate Kelvin were knowledgable and professional. Captain is retired military and shows in preparation, safety, and ability to change to what's happening quickly. Great memories created
