    The captain and his deckhand are super awesome!! They put us on so much fish I was already tired by noon!! The boat is hella comfortable too. Took a nap before going to the spot as well as going back to harbor. Everyone had an awesome time! Would go with this crew again!

    Amazing trip had such a great time. The onboarding process was very simply and the deckhand was very helpful and they have a space where if you get sick you can sit inside and feel comfortable. Best part was that we came home with fish

    Captain Justin and Joseph were a complete pleasure to fish with. I've been on a few charters but this one will definitely get my business again going forward. They went above and beyond for us and we caught limit with no problem. I appreciate the memories that were created today.

    Slow start due to previous days wind and muddy water, but Captain Justin got us on some nice Striper and one really nice Halibut. Joe kept the deck running smoothly and overall, great trip!
