We had an absolutely fantastic day inshore fishing with Captain Wills. From the moment we got on the boat he was enthusiastic, informative, and incredibly accommodating. He clearly loves what he does and it shows.

The fishing was nonstop action. We caught a ton of snook, snapper, jack crevalle, and Spanish mackerel throughout the day. Captain Wills kept us on the fish and made sure we always had a line in the water.

The highlight of the trip was when we stumbled upon a massive school of jacks busting on the surface. We dropped our lines in and immediately doubled up—catching multiple fish at once. It was absolute chaos in the best possible way and had us laughing the whole time.

Captain Wills also went out of his way to pick us up and drop us off at our preferred location, which we really appreciated and made the whole experience even easier.

Beyond the great fishing, he made the entire day fun and memorable - plenty of laughs, great conversation, and constant action. Highly recommend booking with Captain Wills if you’re looking for a great day on the water. Thanks again, Captain Wills!

Booked at last second Full Day inshore trip with Captain Mckenzie. He was more than accommodating making sure we got out on the water asap, and bringing plenty of snacks and water as well. Captain McKenzie was extremely informative, prompt, patient, well equipped, phenomenal with his time management and impressively knowledgeable, making sure every single stop we made we caught multiple fish. Every single person on the boat also caught an inshore slam (redfish snook and trout). All in all I was very impressed, and will definitely be using captain McKenzie again to show my friends and relatives the amazing fishing and nature in the Charlotte harbor. 11/10 Stars

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 Review for McKenzie Charter Company
We had an incredible 5-day trip with McKenzie Charter Company! From start to finish, everything was top-notch. The boat was clean, comfortable, and provided a smooth ride every day. The equipment was great, and we couldn’t have asked for a better fishing setup.
Over the course of the trip, we caught more than 100 fish — including trout, redfish, triple tails, snook, and other inshore species. The highlight of the trip was landing a massive 40-inch snook — such an awesome fight and unforgettable experience!
Wills knows his stuff, keeps the trip fun, and makes sure everyone has a great time on the water. Highly recommend this charter for anyone looking for a top-quality fishing adventure.

Captain Will was great to work with. His personal experience in knowledge with the area was spot on. We had the opportunity to fish a wide area.  It was fun, catching the Chinooks as they put up quite a fight.  I would highly recommend booking with Captain Will again.

We had a blast on our trip! The fish were slow at first, but Captain McKensie knew exactly were to go to make the trip very enjoyable. we would recommend him to anyone.
