    awesome trip work Captain Eric

    6 Hour Trip – Inshore/Nearshore • 3 adults • 1 child

    Our family went on a 6hr fishing trip work Captain Eric. We started catching fish as soon as we hit the first fishing spot. after a few hours of fishing our 3yo needed a break. Captain Eric let us dock at Jekyle Island and showed us where to get ice cream. Captain Eric is very knowledgeable about both the local history and fishing honey holes. He was super flexible and wonderful with our toddler. our family had a great time and cough fish. We would highly recommend Captain Eric's charter, and look forward to going with him again next year.

    Reported catch:
    Redfish
    Speckled Trout

    Thank you. I had a great time with you guys. Having a three year old on the boat can go a lot of ways, but y’all were great. even with how hot it was. Let me know when you get back down here.

    Erik was great!

    4 Hour Trip – Inshore/Nearshore • 4 adults • 2 children

    Boat captain was awesome with our kids and took us to a few different spots. We did another boat trip the next day with a different company and were VASTLY underwhelmed with our second trip. Should have just done a second trip with Erik.

    Response from Captain

    Thanks for the great review. I had a great time with you guys and it was great to meet you. I was hoping your second trip would net you some more keeper size fish. Hope the rest of your visit is awesome.

    Book With Captain Eric

    4 Hour Trip – Inshore/Nearshore • 4 adults • 1 child

    Captain Eric gave us a great trip. We caught fish/dinner and learned about the ecosystem. He is very knowledgeable and has lots of spots to fish. We all had a great time. He also is a great selfie taker. Check your photos.🤣

    Response from Captain

    Thanks for the great review. I had a great time with you guys. Did you really think you could hand me a camera to take a pic and I wasn’t going to snap a selfie of myself 😀

    First time fishing in this area and Captain Eric was very knowledgeable of the waters. We got on some sharks first thing and then was able to catch a couple flounder. We definitely plan to using Valhalla Charters again.

    Fishing with Captain Erik was a real treat! His knowledge, professionalism and humor were superb. We had a great day on the water and he even allowed us a little extra time to catch a few more fish. Highly recommend him for your fishing adventures!

    Eric was a pleasure. He found us fish and was really great with the youngsters on board.
