What a fun experience!! Better than what we expected. Chad was professional, friendly, helpful and fun. Helped my wife and daughter to make it an enjoyable day. Chad even took the time to take us sightseeing and found an alligator. I would recommend this for any family. Will go again if we are in the area.

Chad was great. I don’t have a lot of patients fishing so he would get one on the hook and let me real her in, left handed real and all. My husband and I had a wonderful time. We will be back. Thanks.

These are the folks you want for your charter: professional and courteous and worth the price. We started out at 5:45 AM and had limited out on redfish before 9:00 AM. The captain then moved us to other sites to catch black drum and sheepshead using other techniques. The boat and equipment were first rate and in excellent operating condition. And the fish cleaning was done quickly and efficiently. I wanted to provide my son and son-in-law with a great day on the water, and these folks delivered. I give this company my highest recommendation. Thanks!

We arrived at the dock a bit early, but were greeted by the captains and actually left a bit early. Aldon put us on fish almost immediately. We fished several different spots, including many that most boats drove right by—all of which had fish on them. We caught trout all day long and a few bull reds as well. Aldon was great with our kids, ages 13 and 9. He is very low-key and personable. A real treat to spend the day with. We’ll be back to fish with them again.

We fished with Capt’n Michael and had a great trip catching Redfish. On board was a fishing group with ages of 5, 8, 40 and 65. All ages had a great time. The Capt’n was great with first time fishermen, and experienced anglers. Book your trip, you will enjoy.
