Captain James and his wife were amazing! My boyfriend and I treated my boyfriend’s dad to a fishing trip for his birthday. It was my and my boyfriend’s first time fishing in the ocean. Captain James was incredible. We caught quite a bit of fish. The captain is really great at what he does and is very knowledgeable about fishing. We fished at lots of different spots. It was a great atmosphere and an all around fantastic time. They cleaned the fish we were able to keep, as well! We were already talking about the next trip while still on the boat. Will absolutely book with them again next year!

We just had an absolutely incredible time deep-sea fishing with Captain James! From start to finish, it was a 5-star experience. Even with two people in our group who had never been on a fishing boat before, our guide was phenomenal—patient, knowledgeable, and made everyone feel comfortable and excited.
The fishing itself was fantastic! We reeled in a great variety of fish, including some beautiful mahi-mahi, bonitos, and monster red snapper. The highlight, though, was definitely spending a couple of hours battling a monster shark! It was an absolute thrill and something we’ll never forget.
If you’re looking for an awesome deep-sea fishing trip, whether you’re a seasoned angler or a complete novice, we highly recommend Apex Charters. You won’t be disappointed!

My 2 sons (15 & 17) and I went out with Captain James and his wife.  It was a beautiful day, some fairly rough seas to start off but got better as the morning went on.  The bottom bite was very slow but Captain James was able to put us on the Mahi and we tagged out.  Went home with a freezer full of fish!  Captain James was great with updating us on what we were going to do and how we were going to do it.  We will definitely be back next year, we had an absolute blast!

Captain James turned a good day into a great one! We appreciated his easy going attitude and patience, and he got us right on the fish each time. We also had the pleasure to pull in a 65-70# cobia that took three men to get in the boat! His excitement rivaled our own, which made the trip all the more fun. I hope to give him business in the future.

My wife and I booked a trip in early February 2025.  Many fish were out of season like the Red Snapper and Mahi Mahi.  We did catch about 4-19 inch grouper that we had to let go because they were too small.  We also caught about 6, 15 inch to 24 inch red snapper we had to let because they were out of season.  We caught a Bonita, a Big Skate stingray and a Moray Eel that the Captain did not want on his boat.

We did catch a couple of Vermillion Snapper that we had for dinner!

The additional surprise part of the trip was the jumping and “wake surfing” Dolphin, the sun bathing sea turtle and Man-O-War jellyfish!  Captain James made it not only a fishing trip but a sea adventure as well.  Overall a 5 Star adventure!
