This was my 2nd trip out fishing on Full Draw with my son. This year we had my nephew and my son in law join us. We started trolling for the mackerel in the early morning then headed out for bottom fishing. The first stop was loaded with amberjack. We all caught amberjack but they were just a couple inches from being keepers. Next couple of spots we wore out the mingo and some trigger fish. White snapper we could keep but not the red snapper. We released them back safely. We kept the big boy rods out hoping for a wahoo all the way back.  A great day fishing.
Thanks Capt.Galloway

I can’t not say how appreciative I was with this boat. My wife, brother his wife and I traveled a combined 12+ hours for a day of fishing.  We booked though a broker on a boat (championship) only to get a call at 4:30 the day before to tell us they needed a part for there boat and could not go out at 6 am the next morning. We called the broker back under a lot of stress this weekend was based on this fishing trip. Brantley called back within minutes and agreed to take us out the following morning. We can not say how impressed we were with Brantley and AJ.  While we were catching bait fish we actually show the Championship boat with there new customers they booked after us not using the broker. So in closing please use full + draw charters, Brantley will not cancel the afternoon before. He found the fish and AJ was an amazing first mate.

The trip was amazing I took my 4 year old son and my 8 year old daughter with me and they had a blast. First mate Travis did a great job including the kids and teaching them various things about fish/fishing. Travis did a great job tending to all of our needs and keeping fresh bait on our hooks so we could reel in the “big ones”. Captain Brantley did a superb job putting us right on top of the fish. Fantastic charter for families and first timers. Ice cold ac and great hospitality. First mate Travis cleaned our fish perfectly and we enjoyed a wonderful dinner of fresh red snapper. Can’t wait till next year to do it again. Thank you very much for the experience Travis and Brantley!

We had a great time with Captain Brantley and Crew on or 4-hour afternoon trip.  They were very friendly and helpful throughout our trip and helped us to better understand the Gulf fishing experience.  All of us (5 teenagers and one adult) were catching fish (Red Snapper and King Mackeral) and really enjoyed our time on the water.  I would book another trip with Captain Brantley the next time we come down to the Destin Area.
Thanks again Captain Brantley and First Mate Bobby

Sadly, the captain has little or no knowledge of fishing spots. He charges quite a large amount of money for a poorly maintained boat, and advertises that he can find the fish on the trip. We took drinks and snacks, but were never told where to store them.  The ad is not what you get. The captain is much nicer via text/email than he is in person. He has no contact with the customer. The boat is not clean or up to date on the inside, although we paid for the “extra” amenities. It smells badly, and the captain is a smoker if you are allergic (which I am), and his smoke rains down on you the whole trip from his perch. You never see him. He has little or no contact with you during the trip. His deck hand, AJ, did all that he could do, and does all of the talking during the entire trip, but we never found fish. We only stayed in a fishing spot for a few minutes before we were told to reel in and moved. We rode more than we fished. We caught one that we were able to keep (barely the allowable size). The captain sharply told my husband at the end of the trip that you cannot catch fish on a four hour trip, and that we shouldn’t have expected any in such a short time. Near the end of the trip it began to storm terribly, and we noticed the boat speed up. He had his deck had out in the storm trying to catch fish!!  I supposed for us, since the trip was a bomb. My husband asked for a refund and he knocked off $100 and told my husband to take us out for a nice dinner. Our first fishing trip was a disaster, with one $800 red snapper as the consolation prize. A real shame for what was supposed to be the highlight of our vacation, and a splurge financially. We could have chosen much less expensive trips, but thought that we had upgraded for a special treat. Not the case here. Not worth the money at all. We left shocked at what had just occurred.
