Deborah Dictson5.0Half day with Captain Ben
Fall & Winter Special - 4 HourCaptain Ben and his deck hand, Ryan, were phenomenal. We did the half day trip and they got us right on some fish. Ryan ran his booty off keeping our hooks baited, giving tips, getting our fish in the cooler and we were catching as soon as our hooks were in the water. Captain Ben communicated with us several times before the trip, gave us great expectations on what types of fish we would be going after, and made the trip fun and informative. The boat itself is very nice. She’s roomy enough for our group of 5, comfortable, well equipped and the bathroom on board was a huge plus. We will definitely be repeat customers!

Response from CaptainHey Deborah, your group did an awesome job catching those sheepshead. Yo also caught another 14 throwbacks or so just under the size limit. Y'all were fun and enthusiastic group. Thank you for fishing with us and we look forward to your return. Enjoy eating those fillets!

Nearshore / Offshore 6 Hour Trip • 6 adultsCaught 9 sharks on our bachelor trip. Captain Ben and Luke were great at lining us out and setting up the group for success. they communicated well as well. Had some weather in the morning of, but they reached out to us and reassured an altered takeoff time. Definitely recommend.
Response from CaptainWhat a great group today! These guys hung in there and caught some sharks against all odds. Thank you for fishing with us. I hope you enjoy dining on your catch.

Nearshore / Offshore 4 Hour Trip • 5 adults • 1 childWhat a great experience for our family. Hard to put into words the enjoyment watching my 11 year old real in a fish the size of a cooler! She will remember that forever. Beautiful afternoon and evening spent catching fish with my loved ones. Captain Ben was very accommodating and knowledgeable. Ryan took care of all of us, we were pampered fishermen & women. Thank you so much. We would love to come back!
