Let me be honest with you: I was not the hero of this fishing trip.

I booked an afternoon charter with Captain Lorenzo St. Luce at No Worries Fishing Charters out of Port Orchard — a 1pm departure on Puget Sound, blue sky, great company. The third member of our crew was a young man whose wife gifted him this trip for his birthday, which is already a great story. What none of us planned for was that somewhere around hour two, my motion sickness patches and acupressure bracelets staged a coordinated walkout and left me absolutely green on the back deck.

Captain Lorenzo didn’t skip a beat. He adjusted, kept the lines working, and — alongside our birthday boy, who turned out to be an absolute natural — made sure I still got my limit of Coho. Together, they slayed the Sound. Six Chinook Kings caught and released. A full Coho limit. And — I still can’t fully explain this — a dogfish shark on a salmon jig.

Lorenzo runs a 26-foot Hewescraft Ocean Pro with a 360 HP Mercury engine, provides all rods, reels, bait, tackle, and cleans your fish at the end. He’s USCG licensed, calm under pressure, and the kind of guide who makes every person on the boat feel taken care of — including the one who’s basically useless by hour two.

The birthday boy’s wife made an excellent call. Lorenzo made it count.

Five stars. No worries — even when you’ve got all the worries.

Thank you Captain Lorenzo!!! One of the best fishing trips I have ever been on. Through the expertise of our captain, we caught 5 kings - one was a monster (they all had to be put back as it is not King season) and 5 Coho. We kept three to eat. Yummy!! We learned a lot and had a great day. Highly recommend!!!

The ride was beautiful and freeing. we were in a position to see all 4 mountains surrounding the sound! (Rainier, Baker, Adams (I believe), and the Olympics…all with snowy caps even though it was perfectly warm out). Hits were slow to start, but Captain Lorenzo was dedicated to finding us a good spot, calling around to his community. Before we knew it we were getting hits left and right!! Great vibes, 10/10 would recommend. 🙂‍↕️

captain Lorenzo did an excellent job of putting us on fish, walking us through the right way to catch salmon, and was great with our teen boys! 
we had such a great time learning about the area and getting to know the captain thru the day!

Excellent boat and equipment and a captain hat knows how to entertain and catch fish. couldn’t ask for a beter experience. Would highly recomend to experienced and inexperienced anglers.
