I grew up in Massachusetts along the beaches of Cape Cod Bay. I grew up on the water where I learned how to fish and fell in love with the sport. It was always a dream of mine to captain my own boat and bring the joy of being on the water to other people.

    Exactly what we were hoping for!

    Half Day Trip (AM)4 adults3 children

    My wife and two boys decised to vacation to florida and check it out, and we wanted to introduce them to “ocean” fishing since they’ve never been. we booked the 4 hour excursion and although we weren’t deep sea fishing, we had a perfect trip and caught 13-14 differ t tyles of fish and my boys had a blast. On top of that, Jeff was an awesome Captain (Friendly, Professional, knowledgeable, etc) and to top it off we basically got an awesome dolphin excursion at the same time because when we would come accross them, Jeff would point them out and even got one of them to ride our wake to where rhe dolphins were jumping in and out of the wake while we were driving. needless to say our objective to catch fish, have a great experience, and to have a fishing trip memory for the books was accomplished. Thank you Captain Jeff!

    Captain Jeff was an absolute professional from start to finish. We arrived 15 minutes early, and he was already there waiting for us with everything prepared and ready to go. The boat was fully stocked with plenty of bait, quality fishing gear, and refreshments, making for a comfortable and enjoyable experience right from the start. The boat itself was clean, stable, and very comfortable, and within just 20–30 minutes of leaving the dock, we were already fishing. Throughout the trip, Captain Jeff took us to multiple productive spots, giving us plenty of opportunities to catch fish. We landed snook and catfish, and even had a baby shark on the line! Unfortunately, just as I reached for my phone to record it, the shark leaped out of the water and shook the hook free, a memorable moment we’ll be talking about for a long time. What really stood out was how great Jeff was with the kids. He was patient, friendly, and always quick to help re-bait hooks, fix tackle, and make sure everyone was having a good time. We were enjoying ourselves so much that we decided to extend the trip by an extra hour, and Jeff was more than happy to accommodate us. Overall, this was an outstanding fishing experience. Captain Jeff’s professionalism, knowledge and friendly approach made it so everyone had a great time. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a memorable day on the water.

    Captain Jeff was fantastic — hands-on with all five of us, including three teenagers, helping everyone reel in a great variety of fish: grouper, bonita, grunt, sand perch, and more. Beautiful day on the water in great company. The cherry on top was that he whipped up a custom song dedicated to us — such a fun, memorable touch. Highly recommend booking with Captain Jeff!

    Caught fish on every cast!

    3 hour5 adults

    We had a blast! We caught so many fish immediately on the beginning of our trip. We kept enough sea trout to have a family meal and released the rest. We caught a variety fish, including ladyfish, red drum, and snook. When we finished fishing the captain took us on a tour of the island. We even stopped at a sandbar to find sand dollars. The captain was very friendly and helpful. It was very easy to communicate with him and set up our fishing trip. I would recommend this fishing charter to anyone!

    Great fishing trip

    Half Day Trip (AM)3 adults

    Jeff is an excellent fishing captain. Took my two boys on their first ocean fishing trip. Jeff put us on a ton of fish. Even went the extra mile and chased down some schooling lady fish and mackerel right at the end of our time and we landed about 5-6 fish in like 5 min. What a way to finish a fun day. I highly recommend Jeff.

    Response from Captain

    thanks for coming out enjoy the rest of your vacation!
