Captain Don and Ryan were so very nice and helpful. Captain Don knew all the good secret spots, there were fish there but they were being finicky with their bites but such a cool experience. Captain Don started us out with topwater lures and we caught Speckled Sea Trout, Blue Fish, Lady Fish and I had a couple Spanish Mackerel on but they ultimately got off before we could get them in the boat. Next we got to do some bottom fishing for some Black Snapper. Only was able to hook up on one keeper Black Snapper but was definitely getting bites from them and other fish, such as Pinfish, Flounder, Squirrel Fish, and a small Flounder. We also got to see a very friendly manatee who swam right up to the boat and hung out with us while we fished!
All in all we got to catch a variety of saltwater fish that we have never had the chance to catch before and brought home a little meat to eat!! Great time and I highly recommend fishing with Dauphins Charters and Captain Don!!!

Went out with Captain Don and had a great time on the water. He put us on fish immediately, and we tore them up all day. Very patient with my boys and really was all about them having a good time. Highly recommend his services, we will be coming back for a 3rd time for sure.

We’ve had a couple terrible charter experiences and this one was by far the best. Captain Ryan kept us on the fish while first mate Alan kept us baited and fishing. We had a great trip and brought home some fish even though we picked a super hot day and the sharks kept finding us.

    We booked with Dauphin Charters with Captain Ryan!!!!  We were five and the first mate worked hard to keep us baited and catching !!! Our group all caught fish and we caught our limit and along with that we caught some enormous red snapper!!!! Not a dull moment waiting for a bite as the Capt. moved us to when the bite slowed!!!! Wonderful and productive trip beyond our imaginations!!!! We highly recommend this business!!!

Dauphins fishing provided a great fishing experience from the time we stepped on his boat until we stepped off.  Captain Ray and his team are first-class, and they put us on fish at every stop, and we caught multiple species.  When we got too warm, we just stepped inside the air-conditioned cabin.  First time with Captain Ryan guaranteed there will be second, third,... times fishing with them - overall a 10+ out of 10 experience!
