    Great day fishing!

    12 Hour Trip – Offshore Trolling • 4 adults

    Had a great day fishing with Capt Dean and Corey and Caitlin! We put 54 Mahi in the boat. Could have caught more but limited out. They were an excellent crew and we're friendly and professional. Highly recommend them.

    Great trip with Jacked Up

    12 Hour Trip – Offshore Trolling • 5 adults

    Had an amazing trip with Captain Jeff and Corey… I have never seen a crew more committed or focused on getting us onto fish. The crew is very knowledgeable / friendly, boat is large and handles the open ocean well, and communication to coordinate the trip is seamless. I highly recommend Jacked Up and will be back for more trips in the future. We had an amazing day on the water and caught a lot of different types of fish for the 12 hour offshore trip.

    Reported catch:

    Awesome Experience

    6h Nearshore Bottom/Shark/Troll • 6 adults

    My family took a 6 hour trip on Jacked Up. Captain Dean and first mate Corey had us on fish immediately. Caught some really nice Spanish Mackerel, Blues, and Bonita. The boat was fast and very comfortable. Crew is highly knowledgeable and helpful. This was an outstanding experience that I would book again! Came home and they gave us 3 huge bags of filets. Some of the best fish I have eaten in a long time. Family had a blast and the crew was very easy to get along with. I would recommend a trip on Jacked Up again without reservation.

    Beyond what we expected

    6h Nearshore Bottom/Shark/Troll • 6 adults • 2 children

    I just wanted to say to Dean and Cory, this was one of the best trips with Fish booker yet. The boat was organized, clean, and had great accommodations if you wanted to great out of the sun, or take a nap for 20 minutes. We reeled in about 20 Bonita in about the first hour, which is not what all 6 of us were expecting. There was one time we had 4 fish on at once. You guys did an amazing job and we appreciated having the fish cleaned after the trip!

    Thank you for taking the time to send us a review! Happy that you had a great trip!

    We weren’t planning to keep anything we caught due to my son’s fish allergy - the guys took great care of him and we all had a blast! The false albacore were fun to catch, and we couldn’t have had a more beautiful day. Thanks Corey and Dean!

    Highly recommend this company, we didn’t caught much but, -that’s fishing. We had the best captain and mate (Jeff & Jimmy) just awesome. They were accommodating and made sure that we had a good experience. Two of us were celebrating our birthday and the only better trip would have been the Caribbean 😊. We’ll be back!!
