    Incredible trip!

    Half Day Trip – Shared • 2 adults

    Had an awesome time fishing with Dennis this past Saturday. He was able to get us out last minute by pairing us up with another group, which I really appreciated. We had a beautiful day out on the water with blue skies and sunshine. We caught plenty of blackfish but all were undersized, and limited out on black sea bass. We even got gifted a triggerfish from the other group. At one point, the action was nonstop once Dennis put us on the fish. I also really appreciated how much I learned about targeting blackfish and other bottom-dwelling species. I was hoping to get some hands-on experience and learn a few things, and Dennis definitely delivered. Most definitely wasa fantastic day, and I'll absolutely be heading out with Dennis again. Thanks for a great trip!

    An epic day on thw water

    Half Day Trip – Inshore (Shared) • 2 adults

    My 16‑year‑old son and I had an amazing half‑day trip with Captain Dennis. He’s incredibly knowledgeable - teaching us about the habitat, bait, fishing techniques, ocean and weather patterns, boating basics like how to remove the anchor and even a few “thumb rules” that only come from years on the water. My son was fully engaged the whole time,. We caught porgy’s and even a baby shark, which absolutely made his day. What stood out most was how confidently Captain Dennis navigated a few rough water patches. You could tell it came from years of experience. We always felt completely safe with him at the wheel. A fantastic father‑son experience and a captain I’d highly recommend.

    ​We had an incredible time on our recent trip. From the moment we stepped on board, they made us feel welcome and right at home. ​Not only were they knowledgeable, but they were also incredibly friendly, easy to talk to, and great at keeping everyone engaged throughout the trip. They took the time to share their expertise, teach us helpful techniques, and answer all our questions without missing a beat. Whether you're a seasoned angler or a complete beginner, this crew knows how to deliver a fun, informative, and memorable experience on the water.

    Tremendous Experience!

    Half Day Trip – Inshore (Shared) • 6 adults

    Captain Dennis was excellent — friendly, personable, and calm, with the kind of demeanor that makes the whole trip feel easy and enjoyable. What stood out most was how much time he spent actually teaching us: best practices, techniques, and little details that helped us catch more fish and understand what we were doing. He truly went out of his way to make sure we had a great time, and it showed from start to finish.
