We had a blast with Captain Jason and his crew they were awesome and we plan to book again next year.

The captain was polite and professional but very serious. He was very good at finding the fish even after the first few stops didn’t pan out. He was more personable after the trip as I talked to him for several minutes.

One of the deckhands, Brody I think was his name, was awesome! He was very patient as we had several first time fishers with us. Very informative on what to do. And best of all, he made it fun, which is what these trips are for. He was quick to keep everyone going with bait and help out when needed. And he never got mad or irritated, even after fixing multiple tangled lines and lost fish. And all that after cutting his finger, pretty badly, right after we launched. Brody was a rockstar.

The other deckhand, I can’t remember his name, was not as amazing. He acted like he didn’t want to be there from the start, don’t think he ever smiled once, and got very irritated very quickly. At one point, when my son had a fish get off, the deckhand got very upset and said, “Oh my God, what are you doing?” A little while later, one of us had another fish come off, and his reply was, “ Because you set the hook. I’ve told you 4 times not to set the hook.“ Sorry, we are from Missouri and have spent our whole lives fishing by “setting the hook” . It’s not something you can just stop doing in 15 minutes. This trip was for my son’s graduation and was supposed to be the highlight of our trip to Florida, but this deckhand almost ruined this experience for him. This deckhand was the only reason for the 3 star rating instead of 5.

We did catch the fish we wanted. It took a little while to find them, but once we did, we probably could have limited out. But we couldn’t fly all the fish back home with us so we only kept enough to cook while we were in Florida. So we decided to go try for a shark instead. The captain knew exactly where to go for the shark. After a few tries, we were able to catch about a 6’ spinner shark.

The captain and his 2 deck mates were very kind and helpful. They asked what we wanted to catch and took us right to the spots we needed to be. They were great with the little kids too.

The Captain and Crew were awesome! Very professional and friendly. Hooked us up on a ton of Spanish Maks! I highly recommend Finest Kind charter.

Great trip with a crew on the “Finest Kind”! Thanks for the day gentlemen.
