    worth it!

    4 Hour Trip – The Warm Up (PM) • 4 adults • 2 children

    Our first trip out and we had to reschedule due to incoming weather. We lucked out and ended up catching some big ones and even thoigh we couldnt keep them all, we had a blast! Dylan was an excellent captain - super helpful and extremely knowledgable about the whole experience. We will absolutely be back!!
