We had an amazing eight hour, full day offshore trip with Captain Lucas and first mate Mike! After traveling about 45 minutes to the Marathon Hump. Captain Lucas put us on some amazing blackfin tuna. We did about four drifts and everyone in our party got the opportunity to fight and catch at least one tuna. My grandkids were absolutely thrilled!

Next, Captain Lucas left the Hump and went out into the gulfstream. It wasn’t long until we were on some great mahi. What a beautiful fish, and delicious! Here’s the kicker……. at the end of the day, back at the docks, ALWAYS LATE CHARTERS was the only boat to bring back mahi-mahi!

As we cruise from one fishing spot to another, we encountered a couple of pods of porpoises that were so playful and entertaining. Perhaps the most interesting and unusual site was an abandoned, home made Cuban refugee “vessel” that was floating in open water.

On the final leg of our trip, Captain Lucas put us on some amazing mutton snapper! We were amidst a few other boats, but, amazingly, our boat was the only one catching any!

All in all, we had a five-star trip! We were so impressed with Captain Lucas‘s and Mike’s passion about fishing and taking care of theiir party. Regardless of your level of experience, from novice to well seasoned, the crew of ALWAYS LATE couldn’t have been any more helpful! World-class customer service!

We enjoyed our charter. We caught plenty of fish. Captain Lucas and Mike were terrific and patient. They were also very flexible as we had a slight weather delay. They definitely made up for the lost time due to bad weather.

We started out on the reef for some yellow tails and got our limit then moved out for some mahi mahi and slammed them too it’s was fun out there with family all day and then even got some wreck fishing in and got a big ol jack creval .. loved fishing with you guys see you next year .. Don’t sleep on Lucas he is always moving and keeping you on fish he is the best charter captains boat I’ve been on

Guys had the bait wells full and a solid plan for 6 of us to get blackfin tuna.  Worked really well, and we all had a great experience catching our fish.  Everything about the trip, Cap Lucas and 1st mate Mike was great.  Serious miscomunication, I guess has to be on me since I assumed it’d be like other charters I’ve been on in the past.  Says clearly that there will be a charge for fuel; I assumed it would be a surcharge of a buck or two a gallon for what we used.  We were charged for the entire fuel bill, which was $386 for 59 gallons used for our 4 hour trip.  To be clear, I didn’t ask the captain about this before we showed up, nor did it occur to me to ask before we left.  Be sure to ask if you’re not accustomed to paying this, or if you’re a first timer hiring a boat.  Our boys will never forget the awesome trip with the catch, fighting to land our fish before the sharks nailed them, and an overall excellent time.

Great trip catching amazing snapper! We have been on many charters and this trip was a blast!
