    Best trip ever! Captain Chris is great!

    Half Day Fishing Trip • 4 adults

    We are a family of 4 from Canada, and we went fishing on July 22 for a 4-hour morning trip with Captain Chris. Captain Chris arrived right on time and was fully prepared to give us the best possible experience. His boat is pristine and exceptionally well equipped. Captain Chris is funny, easygoing, and a true expert. We went deep-sea fishing up to 11 miles offshore, where he showed us a variety of techniques—which was both fascinating and super interesting. We got lucky and landed plenty of fish, including a whole bunch of mahi-mahi! It was a wonderful and unforgettable day. We highly recommend Captain Chris and ReelSkinz. Great pricing, top-notch expertise, and tons of fun. Thank you so much!

    Reported catch:
    Dolphin (Mahi Mahi)
    King Mackerel (Kingfish)

    Half Day Fishing Trip • 6 adults • 4 children

    Chris was awesome! We came out with 4 children and had apprehension going beyond the surf, but all our worries were set aside. He was super knowledgeable and patient with all our children. All of our children hooked up! Such an excellent experience, really glad we went.
