    Best trip we have been on!

    4 Hour – Gulf Reef Fishing (10AM) • 5 adults

    We had an awesome day out on the water today. We could not have asked for a better charter. The captain put us right on the fish and we ended up catching a ton of grouper. He was knowledgeable, professional, and made sure everyone had a great time from start to finish. The boat was in great shape, the gear was solid, and everything was handled smoothly. You can tell he really knows what he is doing and works hard to make the experience worth it. If you are looking for a fun and productive day fishing, I highly recommend booking with him. We will definitely be back.

    Reported catch:
    Gag Grouper
    Red Grouper
    Red Snapper

    great time on the water with the boys.

    4 Hour Trip – Inshore • 3 adults

    we had an amazing time fishing with Captain Chris. He made sure we had every opportunity to catch fish, found several great spots and made the entire trip awesome. the fish, in the end, didn’t cooperate, but it wasn’t from lack of Chris trying to set us up for success. The trip was still so much fun and the boys loved everything about it. thanks Chris, we’ll definitely be back.
