We had such a great time out there! It was one of those trips where everything just clicked. We were catching black bass, grunts, and even some Spanish mackerel which made it so much fun. The captain was super easygoing but clearly knew exactly what he was doing, and that made the whole experience even better. It never felt rushed, just a really laid-back, good day on the water. Definitely one of those trips you leave already wanting to book again. We’ll for sure be back!

My 4.5 yo son and I went out with Captain Billy recently and had a great time!  My son is just starting to get into fishing, and Captain Billy was so nice and patient with him—he has a grandson about the same age, and it certainly shows.  We caught a lot of fish, which was great for reinforcing my son’s love of the sport.  And one of the major highlights for my kid was that captain Billy let him steer the boat, which he hasn’t stopped talking about since.  We’ll certainly go back out...

I recently had the pleasure of going on a fishing charter with Captain Bill Baxley, and it was an experience I won’t soon forget! From the moment we set sail, Captain Bill’s passion for fishing and knowledge of the waters were evident. He took the time to explain the best techniques and shared tips that really made a difference in our catch. The boat was clean, well-equipped, and comfortable, making our day on the water enjoyable.

Captain Billy was amazing! We did the 2 hour kid charter as a first introduction to fishing on a boat for my 4 year old. Billy was amazing in how he worked with my son and he delivered on every request that my son made. He went the extra mile, including educating my son on features of each fish that we caught (pin, croaker, and blacktip shark, which was exactly what my son asked for). We are already checking schedules to see when we can get back to the coast and book with Captain Billy... More
