My husband and I had a wonderful sunset adventure on the sea! We got to catch some fish and hook some sharks! Captain Matt and deckhand Justin were very kind and helped us the whole time. Definitely coming back!

It was a great time with Capt. Matt and his first mate, who were kind and accomodating people. Very welcoming and friendly. It was nostalgic for me as a Coastguardsman to go out on a former USCG vessel. We had a double on the lines… and some excitement, but it wasn’t even about the fish. Just a wonderful trip.
