  What an amazing experience!

  4 Hour Offshore Trip - 2:00 PM on August 3, 2026 • 5 adults • 1 child

  We booked the trip mainly for our 7 year old son who is obsessed with fishing. Captain Chris was absolutely amazing during the entire trip. He was patient, knowledgeable and so friendly. His deckhand, George, was also amazing and had a special touch at helping our son catch fish! We caught Grouper, Triggerfish, Red Snapper, and many more! They cleaned our fish afterwards which was a special treat! Our family had such a fantastic time and we plan on rebooking with Captain Chris from now on during our vacations!! Definitely recommend him!!!

  Great experience!

  5 Hour Offshore Trip on May 18, 2026 • 4 adults • 1 child

  We had a great experience with Chris and Shelly! They were incredibly kind, knowledgeable, and knew the area so well. They got us on the fish right away — the mingos were biting faster than we could bait our hooks! When the waves stopped playing nice with our stomachs, they were so thoughtful and flexible. Instead of cutting the trip short or pushing through feeling sick, they gave us a scenic tour of the area and still made the experience enjoyable. You can tell they genuinely care about their guests having a good time. Highly recommend!

  Challenging fishing, but great trip

  4 Hour Inshore Trip on June 23, 2026 • 6 adults • 1 child

  Captain Chris and Deckhand Billy were both great. They kept our hooks baited and casted for us when necessary! They were also quick to unhook any fish we caught and were very knowledgeable about limits on each fish species! We tried for Redfish first at several great looking spots, but no big bites! They asked if we wanted more guaranteed action and took us to a back up artificial reef where we caught several keeper reef fish! Overall, it was a fun day, just wish the Reds would have been biting!

  Great kids fishing trip!

  3 Hour Kids trip PM on September 10, 2026 • 6 adults • 4 children

  We had a great 3 hr kids fishing trip. Captain Chris and deck hand George taught us lots about salt water fishing in the bay for our family of six. We all had a great time and caught lots of fish. Next time we’ll be ready for deep sea fishing. This was a great starter trip for little kids.

  Great Experience

  4 Hour Offshore Trip on June 30, 2026 • 2 adults

  My husband and I had a great trip with Captain Chris and Billy. The one on one service was so beneficial. They were patient and gave us excellent feedback throughout the entire trip. They moved around to different locations when bites slowed down and did everything they could to help us meet our Fish goals for the day. Their demeanor was very professional yet friendly. Felt like we were fishing with Family. Excellent communication.
