Captain Mike was excellent from start to finish. He has a very nice Scarab boat with dual 200 HP Honda engines, and it was clearly well set up for fishing offshore. He knew the boat, the local waters, and the fish extremely well.

He took us out into deeper water and put us right on the fish. He knew exactly where to find the bait, got us hooked up quickly, and made sure everyone had a chance to catch fish. We ended up catching our limit, which says a lot about his experience and preparation.

We did have to head back early because of a storm, but Captain Mike handled that exactly the way you want a captain to handle it: safety first, calm decision-making, and no unnecessary risk. Even with the weather cutting the trip short, he still made sure we had a successful day.

Captain Mike and his son made a great team. They were both attentive, helpful, and focused on keeping everyone fishing and having a good time. It was clear they knew the spots, the boat, and the conditions. I would absolutely recommend Captain Mike to anyone looking for an experienced, safe, and productive fishing charter out of St. Augustine.

We slayed the Vermillion Snapper. Caught hundreds of pounds of Red Snapper, but it was closed season. Saw a 10’ Hammerhead. Had several Cobia follow the lures, but weren’t completely interested. Capt. Mike can put you on fish!

Had a blast with Captain Mike and made some great memories with several friends, and caught a lot of fish..

Had a great time with Captain Mike. He was very responsive and had great communication all the way up to the time of our charter. In total we caught 7 kingfish and 1 decently sized shark. Great time on the water and will hopefully be getting back out with Captain Mike soon.
