Thomas GiampaMassachusetts, US•Member since 20265.0VerifiedGreat afternoon of fishing
Half Day Trip (PM) • 6 adultsWe had a great time, first mate Logan was super helpful. We were only out for an afternoon but caught lots of fish. Fought a big one for a while which was super exciting but the fish won in end. They cleaned and fileted the catch - We enjoyed a fried fish dinner from some of our catch there at the marina restaurant. Would definitely book Freddy again! Nice captain and crew!
Response from Captainim glad that yall enjoyed your day. hope to see you in the future.
Josh SlatteryOhio, US•Member since 20245.0VerifiedFamily Fun Fish Day
Half Day Trip (AM) • 4 adultsI took my wife, boys ages 15 and 16, and my daughter age 9. It was our first family fishing trip. Captain Freddie and his mate (daughter) Shelby were hands on the moment we stepped aboard. Captain Freddie asked what we wanted to accomplish and what time we wanted to be home and made it all happen! Plenty of bait and great equipment was on board ready to be used. We got family photos we will cherish forever… I would highly recommend Captain Freddie Z!!
Response from CaptainTruly enjoyed fishing with yall today. Enjoy your harvest and hope to see you soon!

Half Day Trip (PM) • 6 adultsCaptain Freddy, Shelby and Gage could not have been more helpful, friendly and kind!! We had very novice fisherman in our group and the crew made the day absolutely AMAZING. They cleaned our fish perfectly, we cooked them all up the next night for a delicious dinner. I cannot recommend a better crew and we definitely will be back !!! Thank you again so much, Todd & Kitty Grugel

Full Day Trip • 6 adults • 4 childrenWe were lucky enough to book one of the two day red snapper season. After about an hr of catching bait we steamed off shore to structure that was full of life. It was lock and load fishing. Great job by crew. We limited out in a couple of hours. Couldn't ask for a better day. Freddy called me the night before asking if we could extend the trip knowing the fish were far offshore we took his advice and couldn't of asked for a better day. Highly recommend

Larry MeadorFlorida, US•Member since 20254.0VerifiedFriendly, Knowledgeable Crew – A Memorable Day on the Water
Half Day Trip (AM) • 4 adultsWe had a good experience overall and really appreciated the crew’s effort to make the most of our time on the water. Both the captain and first mate were kind, professional, and extremely knowledgeable. They took the time to explain everything, answer questions, and adjust the plan as needed based on the conditions that day. You could tell they genuinely wanted us to have a great trip. The boat itself was comfortable and well-maintained, with good shade and seating. It's an older diesel vessel, so while it’s not the fastest, it ran smoothly and was a solid ride for our half-day adventure. The fishing gear was in great working order—simple, functional, and easy to use. We did lose a few jigs and break some lines while chasing cobia, so if you're booking for that purpose, it may be worth asking about heavier tackle and extra jigs. For bottom fishing, live bait like pinfish might help increase your chances, but again, that's just a suggestion based on our day. We packed a lot into a short charter—trolling the channel, trying a few bottom fishing spots, and even getting the thrill of chasing rays in search of cobia. We didn’t land much, but the effort was definitely there, and the crew stayed upbeat and engaged throughout. A couple of small notes: be sure to confirm your meeting location in advance and ask who your captain will be—just for clarity. For us, it wasn’t an issue at all, but it’s nice to know ahead of time. All in all, a fun outing with a great crew. And don’t forget to bring a tip—they absolutely earn it!
Response from CaptainWe are glad you enjoyed your 4 hour fishing adventure with us.
