    GREAT Family Friendly experience!

    Daily 5-hour fishing 11am • 7 adults • 2 children

    The Captain and Marshall were great. Our family loves fo fish (we have 3 boys ages 9,10 & 14) but fishing can be rough with the younger two always having to re rig their poles. It’s usually stressful but the deck hand made it great! It was actually really enjoyable! We caught tons of Yellow Tail Snappers, Lane Snappers, Grunts, strawberry groupers, saw lemon sharks, barracudas, dolphins, and sea turtles. We are contemplating booking again during out trip it was that great!

    Slaughtered them today!!!

    Daily 5-hour fishing 11am • 1 adult

    I was out today on the Cora Beth II with Captain Cory and Marshall. We all limited out, and caught more fish than I ever dreamed!!! I live on a lake in Mn, this was special. Cap't knew exactly where to go, and moved us once the bite slowed even a bit. Put us right back on another school, time after time, all day. Book this boat and it's crew, or you'll be wishin' you had! I'll be back with friends ;) thanks a million guys!!! Super Fantastic...

    Such a great experience

    Daily 5-hour fishing 11am • 8 adults • 2 children

    Captain Cory and the crew were absolutely amazing. My youngest was getting frustrated that he hadn't caught anything yet and Cory came over personally and spent the time to help him casting and showing him some hints he had. Within 5 minutes my son caught his first fish and was super excited. We had a group of 8 and all of us said it was such a blast and created a great family memory. Being from New England it was nice to have a crew that could relate to us and know the area we are from. We had such a blast and would highly recommend Captain Cory and the Cora Beth to anyone.

    Awesome trip

    Daily 5-hour fishing 11am • 2 adults

    My wife and I decided to do a spur of the moment charter and saw The Cora Beth II. Captain Cory and first mate Marshall and help were there for any questions and advice that you needed. Always working to get you on the fish and help to land them. We had them clean our fish and they recommended a restaurant to have them freshly cooked. Definitely would go through them again. Thanks guys for a great trip!
