    Fantastic trip!

    3/4 Day Trip • 4 adults

    We had a fantastic day out with Lou and Sparky! Most notably, we caught 3 sailfish and a (small) tiger shark. Besides the great catches and the superb professionalism, we had a lot of fun as Lou and Sparky created a very relaxed and entertaining atmosphere during the entire trip. We are looking forward to our next trip, and we will certainly book again when we will be in the area the next time. Highly recommended!

    My son and I had an incredible trip with Captain Lou and first mate Chad. They put us on fish within 2 minutes of getting to the fishing grounds. Chad was only able to get a full spread out once and for about 5 minutes before we got bit again. These guys are true pros and I highly recommend.

    Captain Lou and Brad put us on fish right off the get go. We wanted to catch some dolphins and they made it happen. It was a great trip! We've done a charter a few times and they definitely made this one memorable. Brad also filleted all of the fish we caught. I would not hesitate to go out with Captain Lou and Brad again. They had great patience with us and helped us land a lot of great fish. Plus his boat comfortably fit 6 adults. At one point we had four fish on at the same time. Worth every penny. Thank you!

    All within the space of 1/2 day! Capt Lou and his deck man mate Sparky are ALL BUSINESS. But still have a good time aboard what I feel was the best hull ever laid: 1971 31 foot Bertram. I brought my buddy who fished with me all our lives. I tied into the first one that turned out to be a 40 pound A.J. Right off the bat. For me that would have been worth the charter alone…. But there were more….several other fish of different species not one under 30 lbs. There are cheaper charters around but these guys have gills I swear. Magic: arguably my best day fishing in my life. I KNOW who to get when i want to go a bit offshore: Capt Lou Moro and company. Philip Kerin fished Friday morning May 17 2024 and my left arm is still sore fighting those savages that lurk just beneath……thanks Lou, Sparky and Goose!
