    Captain Mike and First Mate Dustin Are Top-Notch

    Full Day Trip – Offshore • 2 adults

    Captain Mike and Dustin were friendly, efficient, and knowledgable. We have been on offshore fishing charters everywhere and the service went above and beyond. Captain Mike put us on fish and Dustin kept us fishing. We highly recommend Uptick Charters.

    Family friendly great morning!

    Half Day Trip – Inshore (AM) • 5 adults • 2 children

    We had a great time with Captain Mike and first Mate Dallas! We took our two kids aged 6 and 9 and they were perfect ages for the inshore trip. Our little guy got a bit sea sick and Dallas took great care of him getting a bucket of cool water for his feet and having him lay back. We caught several fish and were provided the info for a marina close by to get them cleaned. We will definitely be rebooking next year!

    Half Day Shark Fishing • 2 adults

    I Took my 14-year-old boy on his first ocean fishing charter. Captain Mike and Dallas (deck-mate) are friendly and fun. They made the trip a perfect first experience for my son. They promised us sharks and they delivered.
