  Tacos for Everyone!

  3/4 Day Trip on October 21, 2026 • 3 adults

  Booked the charter weeks in advance, but ran into rough weather our week on Singer Island. Captain recommended a change of days and what a call. Caught all the fish we wanted and had a lot of fun, particularly, with Ellie Mae, the Lab, watching the poles for a strike - and chasing any bonita brought onto the deck! Captain and crew(two mates) professional, friendly, and knowledgeable. Highly recommend this charter. Oh, and we caught 7 Mahi fot the tacos!

  Huge Goliath Grouper!

  Half Day Trip (AM) on June 17, 2026 • 5 adults • 2 children

  Went offshore with my wife, our kids (8 and 9 years old), and my 74-year-old mother — and every one of us caught fish! We landed 5 Bonita, 2 Blackfin Tuna, and after an unforgettable 40-minute battle, brought a 400+ lb Goliath Grouper to the boat. Absolute catch of a lifetime. The crew made the day fun, safe, and memorable for all ages and helped create an experience our family will never forget. Sharing that moment together across three generations made it even more special. Thank you for an incredible day — highly recommend!

  Oklahoma men gone fishing!

  3/4 Day Trip on August 15, 2026 • 4 adults

  My 3 sons and I just took a 3/4 day fishing trip with Richard and Ellie Mae. We had a great time and the boat was great to fish from. The ac was a life saver for us! We didn’t catch a bunch of fish but our trip was more about bonding than anything else. We didn’t catch catch some fish to use for bait and ended up with 2 reef sharks. One was around 150 pounds. That sealed the deal for us. A huge thanks go out to Jeff and Alec too. We will be back for a Goliath grouper soon!

  Nice boat

  Full Day Trip on September 11, 2026 • 6 adults

  Boat is old but in good condition and ran well. Mate was a little curt when fishermen were in his way, but I understand. Captain did a great job of keeping us out of the squalls that were with us all day and had a great Playlist. Fish could have been better, but it was literally the worst day ever to be out with rough seas and storms. The boat dog was adorable, but did get in the way sometimes. Overall pretty good trip with a couple nice fish!
