With the ocean as his office, he's always in a good mood, and hopes to make sure you enjoy the same thrill of fishing as he does.

    Professional, safe and knowledgeable

    Half Day Trip (AM) • 4 adults

    Even though we didn't catch anything fish (no other boats in area did either) we had a great experience. The capt and crew were fantastic and we never felt uneasy or wary. I recommend highly

    Morning with Captain Dave!!

    Half day • 9 adults

    Started out early for an all guys pre-wedding excursion on the fishing boat Swordfish!! Captain Dave was there waiting for us at the lobby right on time. Despite the crew's best efforts we came back empty handed but with full hearts and great memories. Captain Dave is about as genuine a human being as you'll ever find. Big guy with an even bigger heart. I forgot my phone in his van he found it and brought it back to the hotel, no problem mon!! If I ever get a chance to go back I won't hesitate to call him up and give it another try!! Thanks for the memories Captain Dave and crew!!

    June fishing trip

    Half Day Trip (AM) • 2 adults

    Captain Christopher and first mate DJ were very knowledgeable and friendly. Tough bite today, but not from lack of effort!

    Reported catch:
    Dolphin (Mahi Mahi)

    smaller boat

    Half Day Trip (AM) • 5 adults

    Christopher was initially very friendly and seemed like a great guy. However he didnt tell us the boat we booked was broken down. The guys went out on a much smaller less comfortable boat. My husband mentioned it to him and he said he’d “make it right”. He didn’t and is not answering messages now. So on top of not catching fish, this was a bad experience overall. We know he cant control if fish are caught, but feel like we were scammed. Disappointing

    We deep water trolled the whole time and caught a blue marlin. First time catching a marlin for us. Captain and crew were great about communication and punctuality. Would highly recommend Captain Dave!
