    Absolutely the Star of our Trip

    3 Hour Trip (AM) • 6 adults

    we had amazing trip with thd captain and his first mate Bo. They kelt us engaged, we got to play music, have fun and caught a lot of fish. Coaching us through big and small fish, we truly felt like we got everything and more. We had so much fish to take home. I have been on three charters, this is by far the best!

    Fishing with Ryan

    3 Hour Trip (PM) • 5 adults • 1 child

    Ryan and Benny were great! Had my grandkids with us and they made it a memorable experience for them. We caught so many fish that we started throwing them back! Each kid also got to reel in a shark!! Highly recommended them and can't wait to do it again!!
