Great trip…. Perfect weather and lots of “action”. Captain Bill is a terrific captain with lots of knowledge about fishing in the JAX waters! He combines his knowledge with his passion for fishing to try to give the customer a great experience! In our case it was a winning combination. Grandson’s first off-shore fishing trip and it was a winner! Thanks Captain Bill! Highly recommended!

Capt Bill held and excellent day for my family and I. His attentiveness towards my son was beyond reproach. His knowledge was definitely passed on to us and we are looking forward to the next trip. I’m glad we were able to make some memories as a family and Capt Bill definitely made that happen!

Had a great time out with Captain Bill ! We took our son for his 7th birthday to go fishing and he had so much fun ! We caught a few fish but was only able to keep one due to size . The boat was very clean , even had a bathroom which is great if you have kids . We also stayed out an hour extra to see if we could catch some more fish ! We’ll be booking again soon , thanks Captain Bill !
