    8hr Offshore Fishing (6AM) • 4 adults

    if your looking for a great day on the water on a nice boat witha fun crew then this is your charter! We started the day out having a good time catching some bait fish then it was off to reeling them in. We caught so many Red Snapper unfortunately they were not in aeason butvwe did manage to catch Grouper, white snapper and vermillion snapper along with trigger fish that were keepers. we also caught a lot that were just shy of size limit to keep. The crew were great to talk to and had a sense of humor to joke with. Looking forward to our next time out soon!

    Reported catch:
    Red Snapper
    Vermilion Snapper
    Scamp Grouper
    Gray Triggerfish

    Perfect family fishing charter!

    5hr Family Fishing Trip (2PM) • 4 adults • 1 child

    Captain Jake was knowledgeable and friendly! We are a fishing family with a 3 year old and this trip was perfect for us! We had a beautiful afternoon with lots of catches and a few impressive keepers. We went straight from the marina to a restaurant that cooked our delicious red grouper. We highly recommend this Salty Endeavors and wil book again in the near future!

    Response from Captain

    So glad your crew had an awesome trip with Captain Jake. Amd an awesome dinner… a nice red grouper is one of my favorite. We cant wait to take you fishing again soon!

    Great Offshore Fishing

    8hr Offshore Fishing (6AM) • 3 adults

    What an epic day!!! Parker the Captain and Sam the First Mate were absolutely fantastic - they put us on the fish and kept us there. Exceptional crew who were personable and ready to help in every way possible. I have been on many offshore trips and this was definitely one of the best trips ever. Would definitely rebook them without hesitation.

    Response from Captain

    Thanks for the review, Steve. Glad your crew had a great trip. Lots of good fish on that board! Hope we can take you again soon. Thanks, Salty Crew
