During our family get together, we decided to take a fishing trip. All of us love to fish, some more experienced than others. From the get go the Captain and First Mate were very friendly and informative and went out of their way to ensure we enjoyed ourselves. While I noticed other fishing charters coming in with mainly smaller Red Snapper, the Captain put us on some nice Bonita, Spanish Mackeral, King Mackeral, and some phenomenal Mahi Mahi. I can’t say enough great things about... More

Captain Jimmy and Roger were super cool and helped my family have a blast reeling in the fish. The Ballistic II was the perfect boat, allowing us to hop inside to cool off between fishing spots. It also lets the ladies nap on the ride back from the deep water. Of course, having a bathroom on board was a huge bonus, as was the kitchen, which made lunchtime easy. Right before our scheduled departure the crew informed us of choppy seas, and offered to move us to a calmer day. That flexibility and... More

Our Son has asked us a few times over the years about deep sea fishing. We decided that we would Surprise him and our 3 other kids with an early birthday & our last big trip for the Summer. They had so much fun even though we didn’t get many catches. The Crew was very kind and knowledgeable about what we did catch. The vessel was very clean and comfortable for our CP son, that in itself was well worth it! Overall I say, It was well worth the price! I highly recommend, We will definitely... More
