Anyone that knows me knows I have high standards, especially when I’m spending money.  I expect someone’s best services, because that’s what I would provide if it were me.

I took my 9yo son and 18yo son on a four hour charter. From the time I booked with Capt. Tim O’Malley the lines of communication were great. Tim reached out personally to help answer questions, provided detailed directions, and ensured we were prepared by offering advice on things to bring.

Once we arrived it felt like we were being greeted by a family member. Tim was extremely friendly, polite, and punctual.  We were setting off within just a few minutes. 

Several things set Cpt. O’Malley’s charter apart from others I’ve taken.  Boat was clean, well equipped for a long charter (cold a/c inside, clean bathroom, working equipment).  Tim treated my sons like his own, and also made it a learning experience. He explained everything he was doing and why.  He was extremely patient. He got just as excited when the boys hooked a fish, “FISH ON!!!”. 

But one the coolest things was that he was equipped for commercial fishing, and we got to do it! No one else offers a commercial fishing experience (if you choose) (also has just poles if that’s what you want)

Cpt. O’Malley lowered the outriggers, gave the boys gloves, and they got to pull in hooked fish. We trolled and pulled in several fish with the outriggers as well as poles. 
We finished off the day droplining with the poles.  The four hours was jam packed and we were constantly reeling or pulling in lines. We all had a blast.
Cpt. O’Malley’s experience, heart, and patience make this a top notch choice.  We won’t go to anyone else when vacationing here.

Captain Tim was absolutely amazing. Extremely knowledgeable about the ocean and the various types of fish that we caught. I am huge on customer service and this guy hit it “out of the park”. He was ready when we arrived, explained the boat, how far we would go out, what types of fish we would catch, and what to expect along the 4 hour trip. The boat was well built and responded well to all that he was expecting it to do on our trip. He actually built his boat. As far as the fishing trip, its one of those bucket list items i wanted to check off and Captain Tim did not let me down.  I have never caught a fish that weighed more than a pound. The first fish I caught with Captain Tim was about 12lbs. He had no idea how much that meant to me. I continued to catch all sorts of fish from that point. We released all the fish except one, which we used for bait. 
Captain Tim is:
Professional
Master at his profession
Excellent seaman
Kind
Funny
Supportive when we lost one that we hooked
Encouraging

I will always book my future fishing trips with him.

If you are looking for a great time fishing, don’t miss the opportunity to go fishing with Captain Tim….you wont regret it!

Thank you Captain Tim you were the highlight of my vacation!!!!!

We had an absolutely incredible experience on our charter this morning with Captain Tim! Our family of five had the best time we caught plenty of fish and learned so much about both commercial and sport fishing. Captain Tim was fantastic, especially with our younger kids. He was patient, kind, and made sure they were involved and having fun. It was truly a perfect day on the water, and we’re already looking forward to our next trip to Fort Walton so we can fish with Captain Tim again!

Captain Tim was extremely professional and contacted us pre-trip just to make sure he was prepared. When we got to his boat… It was game on! Captain Tim put us on fish early… and often!
We highly recommend Captain Tim.
One of the best trips we have ever taken!
5 STARS!!

Awesome trip! Got to take my 8yr old nephew on his first offshore fishing trip! The captain was very good and helped him where needed! He put us on a bunch of fish and was not afraid to answer any questions! Extremely knowledgeable!
