    Fantastic Charter with Bill & Maggie!

    Half Day Trip – Inshore (AM) • 2 adults

    Bill and Maggie were absolutely fantastic! We had an amazing time on our inshore fishing charter and couldn’t have asked for a better experience. They were friendly, knowledgeable, professional, and made the entire trip fun and enjoyable. You can tell they genuinely love what they do and care about making sure their guests have a great time.

    The Captain Made This Exceptional

    5 Hour Trip – Shark Fish (PM) • 2 adults

    Communication was great, boat condition was great, fishing location was great but Captain Bill was fantastic! He put us right where the catching was excellent, was quick to help take the catches of the hooks and bait them back up quickly, did not rush our time out there and he kept the conversations going and enjoyable. Absolutely will be back!

    Reported catch:
    Blacktip Shark
    Black Seabass
