    Our family had an amazing time with Bill Busters Sport Fishing Charter! From the moment we got on the boat, the captain and deckhand made us feel welcome and went above and beyond to make sure we had a great experience.

You can tell they truly enjoy what they do and work hard to make sure everyone has a successful and fun trip.

    Great Time Fishing!

    8 Hour Trip • 3 adults

    We had an amazing time on the charter! Mangaed to catch a wide range of fish including Red Snapper, Beeliners, Trigger Fish, Ranibow Runner, Cuban Hogfish, and a Sandbar Shark! The experience exceeded expectations though we wish we could have gone during red snapper season so we could keep those guys, we just couldn't manage to do the trip at a later date. Was still absolutely worth the money. Huge shoutout to Captain Cooper and Hunter for their hard work, friendly disposition, and fishing knowledge. Not only did they manage to navigate us to multiple spots that kept our lines tight all day, but they were especially impressive in getting us back to shore safely through a storm that developed rapidly!

    Great Trip and Fish Were Biting

    6 Hour Trip • 5 adults

    Captain and crew were Awesome. Put us on the fish pretty quickly. As this was a memorial to our late father the crew had a palm leaf with ribbons for the Red, White and Blue. Our father was Navy and served our nation in the foreign service of the government. That was very special to myself and my siblings. Thank you so much for that. I was also impressed that Sebatian (first Mate) was able to cut bait while the boat was bouncing in the choppy waters. Only one member of our party provided chum throughout the day. Ten red snapper, one shark and one +/- 6' shark that we let go. Fun day and great memories. Plan to do some larger fish on the next trip.

    Reported catch:
    Red Snapper
    Response from Charter operator

    Thomas, we enjoyed meeting all of you and it was an honor for us to be part of remembering a Navy Hero, your father. Your father gave his yesterdays so all of us can have our tomorrows; we are forever grateful for His life-time of service. I know He was there with you as you reeled in those fish! Thank you for your kind words and great pictures! It was a pleasure. Respectfully, Bill Busters Sportfishing, KW,

    Variety!

    10 Hour Trip • 4 adults • 2 children

    We decided on a 10-hour trip for my son and me. we couldn’t be more pleased! Captain Tim and First Mate Sasha were friendly, knowledgable, and hard working. We limited out on Snapper early, so we had some extra time trolling! And trolling we did! We pulled in a wahoo and some great tuna. I highly recommend Bill Busters if you are looking for a quality outing on a nice vessel. We will be back next year.

    Reported catch:
    Red Snapper
    Blackfin Tuna
    Wahoo
    Response from Charter operator

    Thank you for your kind review. We enjoyed meeting you both and are so impressed with your son’s enthusiasm and his tenacity and focus for fishing. We know he soon will be landing that marlin with his well-honed skills. We will forward your kind review to our Captain and First Mate. It was thrilling to see your catch variety when you returned! Thank you again. Respectfully, Bill Busters Sportfishing, KW

    rough seas, great trip

    10 Hour Trip • 3 adults

    captain cooper and deckhand smiley are the best fishing duo I've ever used! it rained all day in high seas yet we still limited out on snapper and caught a mahi tuna! We hooked but lost a very large sailfish that danced on the water for us before pulling the hook. Great fishing and even better memories for me and my two sons.

    Response from Charter operator

    Thank you Scott, for the wonderful review! We’re so glad you, your sons, Captain Cooper, and Smiley had such a memorable day on the water. The weather certainly wasn't ideal, but the fishing didn't seem to mind! A snapper limit, a mahi, a sailfish show, and hooking a monster ling is a pretty exciting day in the Gulf. We appreciate you trusting us with your fishing trip and are honored to be part of memories like these. We hope to see your family back in Port A soon for another great day offshore! Tight lines and safe travels! 🎣 Best regards, Bill Busters Sportfishing

    absolutely the best trip we’ve ever had, they listened to us and fished the way we wanted to fish. We got the biggest snapper we’ve ever seen and lots of other fish including kingfish, spanish mackerel, shark etc. I would recommend them 1 million times for a great experience.
