8 hour offshore trip with Saad
Offshore Venture on May 26, 2023 • 10 adults
Captain Saad and the personnel at the Marina were top notch! We just had to show up and hop on board. Fishing poles were already rigged and ready to go. Everyone was friendly and helpful. Captain Saad was a very seasoned fisherman. Great knowledge about fishing and host for our trip. He got us to the fishing grounds and we bounced around a bit but got into a nice mess of fish. We also got to witness seagulls working over some active Queenfish, very exciting action watching those aggressive fish chase our lures. He was very patient and thorough to our least experienced anglers. He had all the tools and tackle we needed, to include cold beverages enough for everyone on board. The boat was immaculate and accommodated all 10 of us comfortably. It had a cabin where we could hide or break away from the midday heat and relax. Captain Saad was very careful and made sure safety was on the top of his list for everyone on board. He was very entertaining on board when the fish were coming over the sides and guys missing or losing some, he even joined in on for some fun mockery and smack talk. Overall a great trip and would go again with Captain Saad.

Fantastic Fishing!

Booked this trip with the intention of taking a friend who has never been offshore fishing before. We not only had an amazing day with Capt. Saad, but we caught fish all day long!! Lunch was great, and the snorkeling spots were beautiful! Highly recommend anyone looking for a fishing charter to book with these guys! Worth both the time and the money!!

We had the best time with Captain Saad. He was exceptionally prepared, knowledgeable, kind, and fun. Thanks to him, my boys were introduced to fishing the right way — and they got hooked! 🎣

Great Trip Out At Sea
Offshore Venture on August 6, 2023 • 10 adults
We had a blast Deep-sea fishing! Captain communicated well before the trip and answered all my questions. We were able to basically swim at any time, we did go out to a couple different swimming points and got to swim in the reefs and snorkel a bit. I highly recommend this trip! Things to know: -Pay for the BBQ, it is worth it and you don't need to bring as much with you if you do this -You don't need a fishing license -Bring extra KD for lures (you pay for each one you use) and tipping at the end -Bring cooler with extra waters and drinks of your choice. He brings waters and juice but it was helpful having extra since it was so hot out Happy fishing!

Amazing trip and great catch
Nearshore Venture on June 9, 2024 • 4 adults
Captain was amazing and well knowledgeable of the waters and willing to do whatever we asked. He was understanding and respectful and showed all of our group how to cast and how to get the fish to bite. We caught catfish, queen fish and sharks! 🦈 i couldn’t highly recommend Captain Saad more! Thank you for a great fishing trip
