    4 hour night charter (pm) β€’ 2 adults

    my girlfriend and i booked Captain Isaiah for a 4 hr trip. excellent time. captain was very professional, boat was super clean and rigged for fishing. we caught a few fish and missed a few other bites but ended up coming home with enough fish for dinner! Captain definitely knows his stuff and would highly recommend

    Isaiah was our captain, he was fantastic. Great experience.

    3 Hour charter β€’ 3 adults β€’ 1 child

    We went out fishing, didn't catch anything, but we were told the evening before that the weather wasn't the best, the offer was to cancel and reschedule, we choice to continue. Isaiah was super even after telling the trip was less than good, he gave it his best. All of us were very happy with the effort Isaiah gave us.

    Issah was great. The boat is decked out with tech abs he put us over the fish we just didn’t get as much as hoped. One big red and a little jack. Still it was a good morning and he offered 25% off next time which was nice. I will be fishing with him again soon and hope to get on some tarpon
