    Awesome experience

    4 Hour Trip – Nighttime Spearing5 adults1 child

    This was an awesome and unique experience. Our family fishes a lot and we have been many places fishing but this was unique and very exciting. Captain Vinny was right on time and right on the fish! With the water lit up you can see a lot that you would not normally see. The dolphins paid us a visit to partake in some of the fish also which was exciting to watch along with a couple manatee mamas with there young close beside. The adventure was great and we did as much learning about the wildlife as we did fishing. One small suggestion if you want to keep some of the fish you will need a good size cooler. We will defiantly be doing this charter again. Thank you Captain Vinny!

    Spear fishing trip with captain Vincent

    4 Hour Trip – Nighttime Spearing4 adults

    We arrived a few minutes earlier than stated when we booked the trip. Captain Vincent was kind enough to let us board early. We were able to harvest 9-10 fish with opportunities at plenty of more, but we couldn’t seal the deal. We also seen a group of dolphins about 10 yards off the boat and a few manta ray’s swimming past as well. Would highly recommend this trip with captain Vincent. We will be back to spear some more fish with captain Vincent the next time we are in Florida.
