Awesome day out with Captain Mike.  Part of the party was subject to sea sickness so we broke up the trip into two parts.  We did a two and a half hour inshore trip.  Captain Mike put us on the fish right away.  We caught enough weak fish for lunch and dinner then we went back to the marina for a quick bathroom break and dropped off those who had enough sun for the day.  Captain Mike then put the boat in hyperdrive for 30 min and we were back on the fish.  I can’t wait until next time to book a offshore trip.  Captain Mike knows his stuff and kept fisherman and nonfisherman happy!

Let me start by saying we had a blast! We brought home 3 king mackerel but we also caught and released a shark, a barracuda (which was a heck of a fight) and 2 small cobia. Captain Ricky is an excellent and knowledgeable captain! He was patient and helpful with us newbie fishers (myself and my 2 teenagers) and made it easy to catch on. The Rocky Bottom is one fast boat and made going offshore a lot less of a chore. I definitely recommend them and would absolutely fish with them again if we visit St. Augustine!

Ricky is one of the good ones! First, the boat was in amazing shape. Newer engines, super quiet and a great ride. Second, and more importantly Ricky’s knowledge of the waters and the bite, was spot on! My family had an awesome experience and hope to join Ricky again in the future.

Listen if you haven’t booked your trip yet because you are trying to make sure you get on the right boat with the right Captain and you want to achieve your goal. Stop here and book with Captain Ricky! 1st let me say, I am not a review writer, it’s just not me. I eventually end up getting too busy to go back and say thank you. So I am stopping to take the time to show my appreciation to Captain Rick via writing this review. If your goal is to catch fish and it should be based on your investment, then I hope you can take a good look at the picture attached. Without going too deep in the details let me start. 1st - Captain Rick’s communication with me prior to even coming on the charter was extremely professional. He had concerns about the weather and did not want me to make a blank trip to Florida just to get on his boat. A family friend who is an avid fisherman shared with me that the Captain is correct, based on what he is hearing we shouldn’t go out the seas are too rough. Captain Rick explained that if we still wanted to go out, the next day will more than likely be a go. Long story short we went out on Christmas Eve.

If you want to get the most for your money go with SeaCo Fishing Charter (Captain Ricky). If you don’t enjoy yourself I will have the IRS reimburse you (LOL). 2nd - Safety, Safety, Safety is what Captain Rick provided although we caught the mother load. Did I catch the Red Snapper and Yellowtail and my grandmother’s favorite fish from my childhood, no? Did we catch Vermillion Snapper and Trigger Fish? Open your eyes and take a good look at the fish. My only regret is that I did not stay out there ALL DAY LONG! But don’t worry, I am already planning and strategizing on how that will be accomplished. Lastly, I am not a fisherman. I enjoy catching fish. If you are somewhat like me, where you enjoy fishing but don’t know how to do all the things to bring the fish in the boat then you need to be on this charter. Enough said! Now book your trip, be on time, be specific on what you want, and get it done. Stop dreaming and make it a reality! I can only speak of my experience with Captain Ricky. So if I took the time to write this review after my experience, I would hope that you would do the same after you take your picture and get settled. I want to say thank you to Captain Ricky and his helper Mr. Cody! I also want to thank Captain Ricky’s wife for sharing Captain Ricky with my family on Christmas Eve! Thank you for the wonderful experience and for getting us back safe! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you, sir! See you in a few!!!!!!!!

Captain Ricky has alot of of positive reviews and for my Wife ,Brother in law and Myself we definitely see why.We arrived on time and Ricky and first mate Cody were ready for us,a brief introduction and off we go.The day was overcast and really over all good conditions. Ricky’s first stop go catch some bait and that he did. We then headed out to sea to fish.We hit the spot and as previous reviews said we were on the fish.We dropped lines and almost immediately we had our first fish it was barracuda but as this was our first time on charter we were all very excited. Then following up we hit on 5 nice kingfish and it was the best fishing experience. The fish just kept hitting one after another. Ricky and first mate Cody are truly professional informative and with there experience gave us a first trip that lives memories of a lifetime. I would definitely book more trips with him and as you can see tell anyone going to St. Augustine to book with Ricky.we are first ti.e charters and could not of had a better experience. Thank you
