    exploring new waters

    6 Hour Trip - 11:15 AM • 3 adults

    Captain Zach did an excellent job helping my son and me on our quest to catch fish in new states. He was extremely knowledgeable about the area, target species, and fishing techniques. When the bite slowed down, he quickly adapted and changed tactics to keep us on fish. It was also great to see the camaraderie and interactions he had with other local captains, which speaks to his experience and reputation in the area. The boat, equipment, and overall trip were outstanding. I wouldn't hesitate to book another trip with Captain Zach and look forward to getting back on the water with him again.

    Scup (Porgy)

    Amazing experince!

    4 Hour Trip • 3 adults

    My family took a trip with Captain Zach and was given not just the opportunity to fish but also walked away with dinner! Captain Zach was so knowledable and patient with us as we tried to figure out where the fish were. We got ti fish for multiple species and it was overall just a fun learning experience as well. This was an amazing experince and we are already planning our next trip out with him. Thanks again!

    Great Morning on the Sound!

    4 Hour Trip • 4 adults

    The owner called prior to our trip and offered to move our charter earlier as it was more likely to have a great trip. We agreed and it worked out great. We caught a lot of fish with many keepers. We had a blast.
