Captain Gary is a very laid back, easy going, easy to get along with man. He’s very knowledgeable regarding finding schools of fish and the techniques to catch them. His deck hand Spencer and his girlfriend Bailey were very helpful as well. They helped us fish for sharks, kept a are lines baited, and helped us real in some extra fish. I had my 8 year old son on board he all of the crew were super child friendly. Capt Gary even took the time to teach my son about the boats navigation system and let him sit in the captains chair while supervised. We caught a wide variety of fish: red snapper, white snapper, vermillion snapper ,stone perch, a couple of ramora which we through back but were so cool to see. On the trip we saw flying fish and dolphins. It was really fun and I highly recommend captain Gary to ANYONE.

Our 8 year old daughter, who’s opinion holds the most weight in matters such as this, had an absolute BLAST. When we started, she was very nervous about the boat and about touching fish, but the boys cheered her on and helped encourage her so much that by the end of the trip she was asking to go out again. If the fish stopped biting or if the dolphins were harassing us, we moved to a better location which we appreciated a lot. They were also extremely flexible with scheduling and very attentive to our needs as first timers. Even if we hadn’t caught any fish, which we did, we would have had a wonderful time on a boat with good company and sunshine; a great experience for a family to have together.

We had a fantastic trip with Captain Gary and Casey! They were friendly, knowledgeable, and quick to meet any need we had. Also, positive and patient with the less experienced members of our group. The AC in the cabin and the shade canopy were nice to have.

We caught a lot of fish in our 6 hours and the trip was an overwhelming success! Highly recommend!

It was my first deep sea fishing and it was definitely one of the best experiences through captain Kota. So laid back and was able to play whatever music we wanted to enjoy the full experience. We were able to catch so much fish and learn tips with fishing. We learned so much information and enjoyed the ride. We will definitely be booking again with Real Groov fishing for sure. If you are looking for a laid back and fun experience Real Groov is the way too go.
