    Best trip so far

    5 Hour Family Trip (AM) • 5 adults • 2 children

    My family goes on a fishing charter every year. Our Way is the best so far. Captain Gary and his team did a phenomenal job of finding fish and doing everything in their power to help us have an incredible trip. We caught our limit of red snapper Including two trophies, one at 19 lbs. and one at 21 lbs., and we snapped off several others that were very large. This was because they knew the red snappers' pattern so well and knew how to customize our fishing techniques to catch the big ones rather than just the smaller ones. In four years of Snapper fishing we have never had a crew go this far. They alao did a great job engaging our 14, 12, and 10 year old kids. I would recommend Our Way to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, experienced, and engaging fishing charter.

    Reported catch:
    Red Snapper
    Spanish Mackerel

    Awesome Day, Lot of Fish!

    6 Hour Trip – Trolling/Bottom - 1:30 PM • 2 adults

    Captain was great. Put us on fish right away. if they quit biting, he moved us quickly to the next spot. Deck Hand Travis was great & kept us ready to catch fish with Bait. Was very informative of the fish, & very patient. We caught the limit on Red Snapper (Good Size Too) Many Spanish Macs, & a Handful of BLiners. Travis cleaned & gave us bags full of fileys ready to cook. When you go, Take a quarter for the Fish Gods, or im sure Travis will have your back! Great Trip!!! Deck Hand Travis was one of the best Ive dealt with over the years. Kept our Hooks with bait, quick to help with any situation reeling in or whatever. Very informative about the fish we caught. This trip was just my Wife & I, but i can only imagine they wpuld be great with any type crew you want to bring. Caught the limit on Red Snapper (Good Size), caught many Spanish Macs, & a handful of BLines

    Reported catch:
    Red Snapper
    Spanish Mackerel
    Gray Triggerfish

    A First-Class Fishing Experience Aboard Our Way

    Afternoon Snapper Special (PM) • 3 adults • 1 child

    We had an incredible day on the water aboard Our Way with Captain Gary and mate Dennis. From the moment we left the dock, they made us feel welcome and worked hard to put us on fish. Their knowledge, professionalism, and positive attitudes made the trip enjoyable for everyone on board. Captain Gary kept us on productive spots throughout the day, and Dennis was outstanding—always ready to help, keep lines baited, and make sure everyone was having a great time. Thanks to their hard work, we brought home some beautiful red snapper and a nice grouper. What made this trip truly special was watching my boys catch fish and create memories that will last a lifetime. The boat was clean, comfortable, and well-maintained, and the crew went above and beyond to make sure we had a successful trip. If you’re looking for a great fishing charter with an experienced captain and crew that genuinely care about their customers, I highly recommend Captain Gary, Dennis, and the Our Way. We will definitely be booking another trip in the future! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 Stars

    Great trip despite conditions

    6 Hour Trip – Trolling/Bottom • 5 adults

    We knew going into the trip the water would be rough. 5-8 foot waves, but the captain navigated wonderfully and kept everyone in the boat. We were able to catch 20+ Vermillion snapper, multiple Bonita, Triggerfish, and Mackeral as well. The first mate was great! Had a friendly personality and made the trip very enjoyable. We did have to cut the trip short due to a few people getting seasick, but the crew was able to get us on some fish quickly. Caught around 40-50 total fish. Would recommend this charter to anyone!

    Reported catch:
    Vermilion Snapper
    Spanish Mackerel
    Gray Triggerfish

    Lots of fish!

    8 Hour Trip- Trolling/Bottom • 4 adults

    The duo of Kyle and Travis got us on fish at every spot. We caught multiple varieties of fish despite this being the farthest they had been in some time due to weather. I absolutely enjoyed being out as far as we were, and seeing natural surroundings. We saw dolphins, caught lots of fish, snd had a great time. Lots of good eating in our future! Appreciate our First Mate for his patience and guidance and our Captain for some “smooth sailing”. Very enjoyable trip and we will be back!

    Reported catch:
    King Mackerel (Kingfish)
    Red Snapper
    Vermilion Snapper
    Gray Triggerfish
