Captain Phillip took me and my 11 year old son out and we had a blast. I realize there are no guarantees to catch, but Capt Phillip put us on the fish from the moment we left the dock.  The boat was nice and in very good shape. Although neither me or my son get seasick, it was a very smooth ride, despite a bit of chop while we were out.  Capt Phillip facilitated a great experience by doing all the tough work from start to finish and was great company to share a day fishing with. Would recommend to anyone looking for a fun fishing trip. Definitely family friendly. Will use 850 again if we return to the area.

This was our very first fishing charter, and it far exceeded our expectations! My wife, our 13-year-old son, and I booked a half-day outing with Captain Phillip—and it was an absolute blast. As complete novices, we really appreciated how laid-back, patient, and knowledgeable Captain Phillip was. He made us feel comfortable right away, and the whole trip was relaxed, fun, and incredibly memorable.

The boat was clean, spacious, and well-equipped, and we were thrilled to catch several nice fish throughout the trip. Our four-hour trip flew by, and honestly, our only regret was not booking a full day. That said, the half-day turned out to be perfect for us. We finished the trip energized and wanting more—not exhausted and ready to be done. It was a great balance, especially for beginners.

We can’t wait to go again and would 100% recommend this experience to anyone, especially families or first-timers.
Huge thanks to Captain Phillip for such a great day on the water!

Can’t thank Captain Philip enough for helping make our fishing trip a success! We had originally booked our trip out on Thursday afternoon, but rescheduled because seas were super rough due to high winds. Come Friday, it was still pretty rough but a little better. He reached out because he didn’t know how experienced we were.. long story short my bunch was ready to go out, but me, I had decided to stay in because I didn’t want to ruin everyone’s trip out. I called and let him know that we were still planning to go out but minus one, because I have never been out too far and was nervous. It wasn’t but a few minutes later he called back and had worked some stuff out so that we could all go the next day!

We set out for an early morning-6 hour Captain’s Choice Deep Sea trip. From start to finish Captain Philip had us on fish! We caught king mackerels right away, bonitos, and snagged a few snappers. He worked hard making sure all 5 of our lines stayed baited and we were catching! Thanks again Captain Philip for a great trip! 

Captain Jared was incredibly communicative and made this trip a memorable one for my 12 year old son and I. We booked the 4-hour Captain’s Choice and had a blast. Caught several fish, including two king mackerels and a Bonita we kept. Jared was very helpful and patient, especially with my son (who won’t stop bragging about out-fishing me). He even filleted the fish for us and offered great cooking tips or recommended places that would cook it for us. We’d absolutely book with him again and recommend him to anyone looking for a fun, well-run fishing trip.

We booked a 5-hour Captain’s Choice deep sea fishing trip and had an absolute blast! Captain Philip was amazing—super knowledgeable, patient, and made the whole experience really enjoyable, especially for our 8-year-old son. We stayed on the fish the entire time, and he worked hard to make sure we had a great trip.

We did end up getting caught in a storm and had to rush back to land, which definitely didn’t help my fear of being stranded in the ocean 😅—but Captain Phillip handled it like a pro and got us back safely. We made memories we’ll never forget and checked something big off our list. Highly recommend! We will definitely book again with them.
