  Determined, Friendly and Hardworking!

  8 Hour Trip – Offshore on June 13, 2026 • 4 adults

  We had a great day out with Bottoms Up! Capt. Justin had the right balance of patience and determination, and first mate John was the hardest working mate I've ever seen on a charter. Together they were easy to talk to, fun to be around, and put us on the fish! We didn't feel rushed for time and even if we had not caught anything, it still would have been a great charter. Luckily though, we caught several kings, a few snapper, some other bottom fish BUT also a sailfish!! Truly a great experience, and we cannot wait to go out with them again.

  Great fishing trip!!!

  Half Day Offshore on April 22, 2026 • 4 adults

  Captain Justin and his mate John were excellent guys, very professional and knowledgeable. We were able to catch a good amount of fish, one which was a 55 pound king fish that was 52 inches and also caught some other great fish. The boat ride was great, perfect size boat. The guys were very friendly and really helpful while knowing exactly what they were doing. We will 1000% book a fishing trip with Justin again the next time we come to Florida. Thanks again! Aiden, Manny, Will & Bob

  1 awesome trip

  Half day Nearshore on March 25, 2026 • 4 adults

  Booked a 5 hr near shore trip and capt Justin and mate John didn't disappoint. Probably 30 to 40 fish that were kept and brought back to the dock. On way back in capt Justin saw what he thought was a bait ball but cone yo find out was a school of jack cravelle. We hooked into one and for the next 20 to 30 minutes I fought this 40 to 50 pound jack until I landed it. What a battle and what a personal best for me. Gonna DEFINITELY BOOK with captain Justin and 1st mate John again and doing a deep sea trip next time. Thank so much captain for an awesome time. Can't wait till next time.

  Family Fishing Adventure

  Half day Nearshore on July 29, 2026 • 3 adults

  Perfect day fishing. Captain Justin Gay & Mate John were perfect hosts keeping our hooks bated & removing caught fish from our poles. Their knowledge of the species, answering questions and catching methodology was spot on. We caught Trigger, Snapper, and Sea Bass. Our catch was fileted and our evenings dinner was fantastic. Great Day of fishing and family togetherness. Highly recommended.

  Awesome fishing trip!

  Half Day Offshore on July 15, 2026 • 4 adults

  Me (Grammy), two teen grandsons and my daughter had the best time on our Bottoms Up fishing trip!! We caught kingfish, snappers, and much more that I don’t recall the names of. Captain Justin and John were great with the boys. It was such a fun experience! We all, including the other 9 in our family, sure enjoyed our fish that evening (restaurant cooked, thank you Capt)!
