    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.

    Fantastic Bachelor Party Trip!

    8 hr tuna trip 28' PARKER • 6 adults

    What an incredible trip - calm seas, sunny skies, and one gigantic fish. From the moment we set out we were surrounded by whales, turtles, dolphins and even sharks. A couple hours in, we hooked a 60 lb tuna and Cap'n Dennis and first mate Bill sprang into action to clear the lines and bring the fish in. It was the highlight of my little brother's bachelor party!

    Reported catch:
    Bluefin Tuna

    Captain Dennis will always make sure you catch fish

    HALF DAY SHARED TRIP • 2 adults • 1 child

    Captain Dennis was great: patient, kind, knowledgeable. We didn’t catch any fish but my 10 year old and I decided to leave early because it was too cold for us. Dennis used different methods to catch fish since casting wasn’t working. He had all the equipment and materials we needed. We will definitely book with him again when it gets warmer.

    Response from Captain

    Emanuela it was a pleasure fishing with you and your son leo. this spring is abnormally cold and putting the fish behind schedule. I'll let you know when they come in. regards dennis
