We had a great time on the trip.  Unfortunately the weather was a little rough and the fish werent biting real well, but the kids had a blast pulling in a few fish.  The captain and mate were great, and were very helpful with the young kids (8, 5, and 3), keeping their poles baited and helping them pull in the fish.  The kids were very excited and had a great time.  They talked about the trip for days!!

A&B Charters got us on fish fast, we caught a lot of snapper and other fish that we used for bait. Both kids had a blast, my youngest got a nice barracuda which he was so excited for, my oldest got about a 44in Cobia roughly 40lbs and will definitely be a memory that we will cherish forever. We will definitely be coming back, hopefully every year!

We had a group of 11 adults made up of two families with adult kids. We all had a great time—even the skeptics loved it. Some had fished before and some had never even held a fishing rod. Captain Manel & First Mate Peter were top notch—extremely professional and super friendly. Took us to the spots that were biting. We took our haul to Pinchers where they prepared it for our dinner. Could not have asked for a better day. If you’re on the fence about this excursion, don’t hesitate. You won’t be disappointed.

Great trip for a family getting on the water for the first time , about 2.5 hours of fishing and close enough to shore for them to feel comfortable, but if you want bigger fish and a true offshore fishing experience, do a full day. Captain and first mate where friendly and great at keep everyone baited up and ready to fish.

I asked for feedback from my family concerning their experience with this charter.  Everyone loved everything A&B Deep Sea Fishing Charters had to offer.  Captain Craig and Captain Jim were very accommodating ensuring a family fun experience fishing.  I easily saw that their top priority is their clients because they exceeded my expectations.  In other words, they were more than what was advertised in their charter description.

For example, Captain Craig and Captain Jim were using the unused fishing poles to help us catch fish even though we were catching a fish every 30 seconds on average.  Everyone caught tons of fish and big ones too.  We took tons of pics.  Having experience of fishing in the Midwest for over 36 years, these guys taught me very valuable skills on how to fish on and off-shore in Florida.  It was gold.  And they were super quick to re-bait everyone’s fishing pole and/or untangle them.  I felt like the wait time for everyone took only seconds not to exceed 30 seconds on average.  To give perspective, one of my previous experiences with another fishing charter took about 10 to 15 minutes for someone to show up to rebait and/or untangle my line.  And we had to catch our own bait which took time off our charter to do actual fishing.  And a huge plus is a bathroom.  I will never take that for granted lolol.  Furthermore, I never caught so much fish and so much variety of fish.  It was the first time I had ever caught 3-types of groupers since I moved to Florida.  It was a blast!  These guys are the complete opposite from my previous fishing charter experience.  They had everything sharp and ready to rock upon our arrival. 

I believe a big factor of this amazing experience is because these guys are passionate about what they do, and they have the fishing experience to back it up.  They were also fun and good humored.  And that is what my family and I were looking for.     

These are selfless and hardworking professionals that earn this credit for their hard work and diligence.

I will be back for more fishing charters with A&B Deep Sea Fishing Charters at least 2 more times this year!

Thank you for making this experience memorable, fun, and exciting for my family and I, Captain Craig and Captain Jim!  We’ll be back!

Very respectfully,
