My family and I had a wonderful trip with captain Paul. My family didn’t even get sea sick like they normally do! He was very laid back and flexible. The vintage yacht had a rustic charm complete with restrooms. We saw dozens of dolphins several of which followed beside and in front of the boat jumping out of the water. Paul and his mate took care of preparing bait and removing the hooks from the fish. We caught 2 species of Sharks, several catfish, and even a Crevalle jack. We... More

We had a great time! We cruised around to see some of the sights and then we fished, catching two bonnet-head sharks, one blacktip reef shark, one puffer fish, and multiple catfish! Captain Paul let my son steer the boat to a good swimming spot. We did have multiple sightings of dolphins! Paul and Marcos were extremely helpful, making the day more enjoyable! We will book with Captain Paul again.

We had a great trip with Paul & Mark. Very knowledgeable about the area, went fishing to a few different spots, didn’t catch anything but that’s okay…that’s part of fishing! We had a great time!!! Went swimming in the Gulf, saw a lot of dolphins and other wildlife, and enjoyed conversations.
