    9 ft shark🦈!!!

    6 Hour Trip (AM) • 2 adults • 1 child

    We had an amazing trip from start to finish! It all began with great communication from Captain Josh before we even arrived. He did an excellent job setting expectations, which made us feel prepared and excited. This trip was for me and my 10½-year-old son, and neither of us had much fishing experience. On the ride out, Captain Josh pointed out all kinds of interesting sights, including a huge manatee, mangrove trees where the monkeys hang out, and other local wildlife. It made the trip enjoyable before we even started fishing. As soon as we cleared the harbor and reached open water, First Mate Nick got the lines in. We had action almost immediately, with two quick strikes—including an incredible 47-inch barracuda! Throughout the day we caught four great-sized kingfish, several bonito, and a few smaller fish that were released. The highlight of the trip was when the shark line took off. It was an unforgettable battle, and thanks to the hard work and guidance of Captain Josh and Nick, we landed an incredible 9-foot shark! It was easily the experience of a lifetime for both of us. Afterward, they cleaned and filleted all of our keeper fish and even recommended a fantastic local raw bar that cooked our catch to perfection. Throughout the entire trip they were friendly, patient, knowledgeable, and happy to answer every question we had. If you’re looking for a fun, professional charter…whether you’re an experienced angler or a complete beginner…I can’t recommend Captain Josh and Nick highly enough. They gave my son and me memories we’ll never forget.

    4 Hour Trip • 4 adults

    01/17/26 26ft boat. Our party consisted of my brother, his wife, my wife and I. We did the 4hr morning trip. The girls were comfortable and had a blast just going for a boat ride reading and enjoying the beautiful weather as my brother and I caught fish. Josh started off with some trolling. We went parrellel with the beach. It was cool to see the skyline from the oceans perspective. After we trolled for awhile we caught some bait fish to drop on a shipwreck ( I asked before the trip on the app if we could try for amberjack). Josh made the opportunity happen. After that Josh said time to catch some tasty fish for dinner. Sure enough we did. Ended the 4 hrs jigging for some red eye. We caught dinner and are excited to have the local restaurant Josh suggested to prepare them for us. The trip was perfect. Between trolling, dropping live bait, and jigging off the bottom. Josh covered all the different ways to catch as many different fish as possible. Would recommend to anybody.

    Outstanding experience

    6 Hour Trip (PM) • 5 adults • 1 child

    We had an incredible time fishing. Captain Joshua was great, made us feel welcome and got us right out on the water to catch some monsters. We got a massive sail fish on early and they were very helpful guiding me through getting it into the boat. We also brought my 2 year old daughter and they were great with her. The boat size and AC in the cabin helped a lot making the family more comfortable. An awesome experience I highly recommend for anyone to try!

    Chris and Nick took us out to a spot where they had success earlier in the week. Our group only got one fish on but it was a 6’10” sail fish . They were very personable and we had a great time!
