    Most fun and best fishing experience ever!

    Half Day Trip – Shared (AM) • 2 adults

    Captain Daniel Frances is personable, experienced and a terrific teacher. While my husband had gone fishing before. I had little to no experience. Captain Daniel made the trip enjoyable for us both. I was able to hook and pull in several fish too small to keep , including hooking a 30# red fish on a 12# line which I immediately relinquished to the Captain to finesse and bring in to the boat. Jim hooked and brought in 2 - 40 # Bull Redfish which made his day. Overall, the skill of our Captain, great weather and hungry fish gave us a terrific experience. The boat was well outfitted snd comfortable and had sone shade which I appreciated. I would highly recommend choosing his fishing charter.

    Morning Half Day Trip

    Half Day Trip (AM)

    We had a great time on the water fishing. My husband and I scheduled a charter for our anniversary celebration. Although it was a windy way, Captain Daniel navigated perfectly with a smooth ride considering the elements. The overcast was wonderful with spurts of sunshine and we had some great catches that we were able to pull in with the help of Captain Daniel. I would highly recommend this experience. The ride was amazing and the scenery was beautiful.

    Response from Captain

    Thanks Earath and April! Happy Anniversary! Looking forward to you guys coming again.

    Fishing with Daniel

    Half Day Trip – Shared (AM) • 2 adults • 1 child

    My son and I had an amazing time with this Charter and Captain. He had such a great time that he said he wanted to have this as his Christmas present again this year. He also said he didn’t want to go with just any charter or captain but the same one. The weather could have been a little better but we did have the option to cancel the day before. The boat is in excellent condition. We loved this trip!
