Member since May 2020 Palm Bay, United States

Background: Dave has been a licensed captain since 2005. He enjoys being out on the water and is very knowledgable about the area. Taking people to go fishing is one of the best jobs he could've hoped for, and it doesn't matter how skilled they are. Captain has a lot of personal experience and likes to share it with others.

4 Hour Inshore Family Fishing (AM)

Caught many fish and Captain Dave was very friendly. He is also very knowledgeable about local wildlife. Saw dolphins, manatee, an alligator and many different bird species. Highly recommended by us!!

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review and recommending me. I wish we could have gotten some larger fish, but was definitely not from lack of trying. I hope you are able to get your next trip in and catch them up! Take care! Captain Dave

Our original day was canceled due to bad weather but Captain Dave graciously rescheduled our trip 2 days later. We came down from PA. for my husband’s birthday and a last getaway before being deployed. It was awesome that we could still enjoy the fishing trip!
