Capt. Chris Smith - Since I was a kid I've always been passionate about fishing. Now, I've dedicated most of my adult life to pursuing various saltwater species across my local bay, ocean, and coastal tributaries. There's nothing that excites me more than sharing my passion for the outdoors with others. My charters are focused on creating a memorable tailored experience whether you're a novice or an avid angler.

    Felt like we were fishing with one of our good friends.

    Half Day Trip • 2 adults

    We had an incredible trip with Captain Chris! From the moment we stepped onto the boat, it was clear we were in professional hands. The boat was spotless, the gear was top-notch, and the captain's knowledge of the local waters was unmatched. Captain Chris put us right on the fish with our very first cast, and we didn't stop catching all day! If you want a fun, safe, and successful fishing charter, book with Captain Chris—you won’t regret it! We will absolutely be back!

    Exactly what we wanted!

    Half Day Trip • 3 adults

    Captain Chris was great. We wanted the small boat experience. Chris knew wajt to do to out us in fish. He was attentive, knowledgeable, and personable. Always had a rod and bait ready for us. This was a lot different than tje bass fishing we were used to so Chris carefully explained what we needed to do differently. He’ll even play some great music for you!

    Reported catch:
    Sheepshead
    Gray Triggerfish
    Tautog

    Fun flounder fishing.

    Half Day Trip • 1 adult

    Chris was a great captain. He gave me tips for kayak fishing later. We caught some flounder, saw lots of dauphins, and had a good time.
