    Absolutely awesome Captain and crew!

    4 Hour Trip • 3 adults • 1 child

    They did an amazing job! Met us a little early to get onto the water faster and took us on an entertaining and fun ride to try and get some Red Snapper! While we were there we caught a few fish but sadly, we did not know that the youngest granddaughter in our group would get seasick. The crew did an amazing job making sure she was comfortable, and we ended our run early, but still had an entertaining ride back. My granddaughter had so much fun, other than getting seasick, that she still wants to go back to this same boat and crew, and try a shorter trip that won't get us too far out next time!

    Reported catch:
    Vermilion Snapper

    Eric is a world class guy!

    6 Hour Trip — Offshore • 3 adults

    Let’s start off with the Captain Eric. This guy is possibly the kindest captain of a fishing charter I’ve ever met. He is courteous, attentive and just a great person to entrust with getting you on fish. We smoked them pretty good the day we went out. After some of my own caused confusion on tactics and my misunderstanding I corrected what I was doing and we got on tons of fish and had hundreds of bites. We caught several species of snapper and even hooked into a giant Greater Amberjack. All of the boxes were checked on my trip. I would 15/10 recommend his charter to any of my friends and family. I will be down to fish with this company again and again.

    Reported catch:
    Amberjack
    Red Snapper
    Mangrove Snapper
    Gray Triggerfish

    Fantastic Trip!

    5 Hour Trip • 3 adults • 1 child

    This was our first experience on a fishing charter and i would definitely recommend this company all day long. First Captain Eric was incredibly responsive to all my questions before and after I booked. This was a special birthday present for my daughter and he went above and beyond to make sure the trip was about her. He even went so far as to bring her bithday cupcakes for the special day. The fishing was great with lots of action. Anyone looking for a great fishing trip should definitely reach out to this charter company!

    Outstanding Experience!!!!

    5 Hour Trip - 1:00 PM • 3 adults

    Captain Eric was great he communicated ahead of time and knew what we wanted. it was my son, daughter, and me. His first mate (his son Ethan) and he were prepped, ready, and had us out and fishing quickly. We landed red snapper and mangrove and targeted some others. My daughter landed the fish of her life! it got a bit hot toward the end but Eric kept us moving and hitting different spots. we had a blast and will be back again to fish with him!!! Would definitely recommend him!

    Amazing Trip!

    6 Hour Trip — Offshore • 2 adults

    Captain Eric was phenomenal! He is so fun, and he takes care of everything and helps a ton from start to finish! I learned so much and had such a great time! Ethan was an incredible deckhand and such a joy to have with us on the trip! The trip was a huge success because of them. We came home with a variety snapper, some as big as 28ft. We've got enough fish to feed all our friends and family the next several nights! Great trip, great crew! 10/10 recommend!

    We had a 4 hour trip with Capt. Eric and his son Ethan. As soon as we arrived, we felt like we were fishing with long time friends. We joked and ribbed each other like old buddies, which made the trip very enjoyable . Oh, we did catch fish!😁 too. We would definitely book them again
