    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!

    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

    May 11th, 2026 Trip

    4 Hour Trip - 1:00 PM • 2 adults

    Justin was a phenomenal Captain! He was very personable, beyond willing to help, and he walked me through exactly what to do while trying to land a decent sized red fish. We told him there was no pressure as we understood it’s “fishing” not “catching”. He made it his personal mission to put us on fish and we stayed at it until the last minute. We caught red fish and black drum, which we were told were hard to target this time of year. He pulled it off! Great experience and I HIGHLY recommend Justin! His equipment and boat were top notch, too!

    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!
