Charley and Brad his mate were absolutely amazing! Charley VERY knowledgeable and hands down has been THE BEST charter we have ever taken. We did a 6 hour trip.
We have our own boat and do a lot of deep sea fishing, wanted to get some experience with fish we have no knowledge on catching . We wanted to learn about catching Mahi and Charley went above and beyond the expectation we even had going into this trip…we caught Mahi, Kingfish, Bonita, Sailfish, and Remora. Do not hesitate when booking with Charley - again the BEST!!!!! Loved it when Charley stated - “WE DO NOT GET SKUNKED on this boat”! He absolutely made sure that did not happen. As I said to Charley - THIS MAN HAS A SKILL Most people dream of having.

Captain Charley was a pleasure to fish with. He put us on fish and we had an active morning, coming home with dinner for the family and then some. The kicker was just before time to head back we got a bite on a live bait line. I took the rod and ended up landing a Snook of a lifetime! Captain Charley estimated it to be 45 inches and I can tell you it was deep into the 20 pound category if not hitting 30+. I’m still in shock… and thinking about an in-season trip. Wow!

Captain Charley was an absolute pro! When we got to the ramp, the boat was already in the water, and the motors were all warmed up and ready to go. We grabbed some bait and quickly chased down a few more bait schools, filling the live well in no time. After a smooth ride out to deeper waters, we hooked up with two fish in just a couple of minutes! Cap kept us on the fish the whole trip, and even though they weren’t biting at times, that’s just how fishing is, right? We managed to land four fish, including two bonitas, a sailfish, and an amberjack. A few more fish slipped away, but for our first offshore fishing trip, I’d say this one was a total success. Thanks a bunch for an amazing experience, Captain Charley!

This was our second time booking with Captain Charley and it was again, a fantastic experience.  Charley is super personable and genuinely cares if you have a good time fishing.  He’s easy to talk to, very knowledgeable and patient.  This was such a great trip, we caught meat for the freezer and even a bucket list item for me, reeled in 2 sailfish and got some great pics and video of them!  I can’t recommend Captain Charley enough, he’s a great dude and a great fishing guide!  We’ll definitely be back and will recommend him to all our friends looking for a great fishing experience!  Thanks a ton Captain!!

Charley and first mate, Kevin, were great at doing their best to get fish on our lines. Although we had booked an inshore 1/2 day, they first took us out of PSL for some close-in offshore to a reef for some bottom fishing (some bites, but no catches). On the way back in to the intracoastal we had a big (still not sure what) fish break the line on rocks—whatever it was, it was big and fast! Once back inshore, we fished a cove, under a couple bridges. We lost another couple of bigger fish that broke the lines bringing them in. Ended up with a couple of smaller fish in the boat for the day, but learned a lot about fishing these waters. Oh, and the music playlist was great!! We will be booking another trip.
