Capt. Bill provided an exceptional experience for our family. His instructions were spot on and we came home with a great catch. He was great with our 14 y.o. who truly enjoyed the experience and is already asking when we can go out again. As an experienced angler I would definitely recommend Capt Bill as your guide. Thanks Capt. Bill!

Our family booked our first ever fishing charter with Captain Bill and it was a trip we will always remember. From the first cast to the last we caught a wide variety of fish from red snapper, sea bass, cobia and sharks. Captain Bill was extremely knowledgeable about the waters and taught us everything we needed to know to make our trip one to remember. Hooker Charter and Captain Bill Perkins will get the job done! Don’t miss out on this opportunity to fish with a top notch captain.
