Keeli Jackson5.0VerifiedExpectations Exceeded!!
5-Hour Trip (Offshore) • 5 adultsA wonderful family fishing trip with our adult children that truly exceeded our expectations! We recently went fishing with our adult kids, and it was everything we hoped for and more. The day was filled with laughter, plenty of bites (including loads of solid catches), and quality time that felt genuinely special. Captains John & Nick made it smooth and enjoyable—everyone stayed engaged and had a great time, while we parents especially appreciated how relaxed and well-organized it felt. It was successful, fun, and left us already talking about when we can go again. Highly recommend for any family looking for a memorable outdoor adventure!

Tyler Essary5.0VerifiedDont Waste Your Time
6 Hour Trip (Offshore) • 3 adults • 1 childLike the title says, dont waist your time! Unless you enjoy catching fish all day amd hangout out with some genuine guys? Captain John and Captain Nick just spent the whole time trying to help us catch fish. Teaching the 10 year old (and the 35 year olds) how to fish. Boat was well kept, quickly glided over the water, bathroom was a life saver. They provided live bait, as well as taught us how to get our own. We even got lucky and got our targeted species. After we took all of those fillets they cut for us back home, the kid got a well-deserved “Chef Captain John inspired recipe “fresh -self caught- mahi Tacos! We absolutely had a blast. We will be going out with them again.

John Fulbright5.0VerifiedTop Notch Boat and Crew
8 Hour Trip (Offshore) • 5 adultsIf you’re looking for a great day on the water, look no further. Captain John and Captain Nick did an outstanding job during our 8-hour fishing trip. We had a group of five and stayed on fish all day, bringing in an impressive catch. These guys truly know their craft and work hard to make sure everyone has a successful and enjoyable experience. What really stood out was how well they balanced professionalism, safety, and fun. Even with some larger waves during the trip, the boat handled the conditions exceptionally well, and the crew remained calm, confident, and safety-conscious throughout the day. Their knowledge of the local waters, fishing techniques, and ability to put us on fish was second to none. They were patient, helpful, and made sure everyone in our group had a great time, regardless of experience level. The equipment was top-notch, the boat was clean and comfortable, and the entire trip exceeded our expectations. We had such a great experience that we already booked a second trip before we even got back to the dock. If you’re considering a charter, don’t hesitate—you won’t be disappointed. Highly recommend Captain John and Captain Nick for an unforgettable fishing adventure!

Craig Sterrett5.0VerifiedNEWFishing with John
4 Hour Trip (Offshore) • 5 adults • 2 childrenThis was our first offshore trip. Could not have had a better experience. we caught grouper, snapper, and a lot of fish I did not know. I did not expect such great results. John and Nick were great captains and handled everything for us. They fileted all the fish and told us how to prepare them. We are coming back to book with them next year. No need to ever go anywhere else.

Greer Hall5.0VerifiedGreat crew, great boat, so much fun
3-Hour Inshore Trip • 5 adults • 3 childrenOur family of six did a 3 hour inshore trip which was perfect for our kids and teens. Everyone caught fish and Captain John and Nick were excellent. We’ll definitely fish with them again, and will go for a longer offshore trip next time. Highly recommend. It was a great experience for us and we’re really glad we did it. They moved us throughout the sound to find fish, and we caught fish in each location. Thanks guys, you gave us a great family memory. They baited all the hooks, helped the kids cast and cleaned our fish, too.
