What a great afternoon on the water with Captain Jared. Our family of 5 had an absolute blast shark fishing. We have kids ranging from 7 to 17 years old, and Captain Jared did an awesome job making sure everyone had a great time.

It took a little while to get the chum working and the sharks stirred up, but once they showed up, the action never stopped. We caught several sharks, including a 6 foot blacktip, a couple of Atlantic sharpnose sharks, and the highlight of the trip was my 17 year old daughter fighting and landing a 7 to 8 foot hammerhead shark. As she heads into her senior year of high school, I have a feeling that story is going to be told more than a few times.

The best part was that every person in our family caught at least one shark, including our 7 year old who reeled one in and got to hold it. Seeing the excitement on our kids’ faces made the whole trip worth it.

Captain Jared was outstanding. He was great with the kids, knew exactly what he was doing, and worked hard to put us on fish. More importantly, he helped create memories our family will be talking about for years to come.
If you’re thinking about booking a shark fishing trip, do it. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Thanks again, Captain Jared! 🦈🎣

Took a group of 4 boys ages 3-8 on a great bay fishing excursion with GOTTA BELIEVE! We did a 4hr Bay Trip in the afternoon. Captain Rob and Mate Austin were terrific for the young anglers. They had a nice sun shade over the boat and kept the boys busy while trolling for Spanish Mackerel, Ladyfish, and Skipjacks! Constant action and landed 19 fish! A lot of multiple hookups as well which made things really fun for the 4 kids on the reels. Tons of space on the deck for everyone to fish safely and comfortably. The crew was professional and extremely good with children. All
kids learned something new and got to catch their first ocean fish and have an amazing time. I would highly endorse this outfit if you have young inexperienced anglers looking for a great time on the water!

Just a great day on the water. Captain and mate were awesome. Very engaging with us throughout the trip. Made sure we were taken care. Caught some sharks, great music and great conversation. Highly recommend the Gotta Believe for your next fishing trip!
Thanks for a great trip.

We had the most amazing family experience.  Caught over 20 fish (and had several get away, lol). The Captain (Colby) and First Mate (Austin) were the best!!! Very helpful, kind and encouraging!!! The owner was polite and informative, kept us up to date from booking the trip, to the day of!  Would 200% recommend this boat and crew! We will definitely book again in the future!

We had an absolute blast on our evening shark fishing trip! From start to finish, everything exceeded expectations. Our deckhand, Austin, was fantastic—super helpful with photos, great conversation, and incredibly kind with the kids. Captain Barry was a true professional, and the communication before and during the trip was spot on. The equipment was top-notch, and we caught plenty of sharks in just four hours. Honestly, it was more than I expected for such a short trip—and very affordable for the experience we had. Highly, highly recommend!
