    Great Trip!!

    6 Hour Trip – Gulf Reef Fishing • 6 adults

    Captain Eric and Corey were awesome! The weather wasn’t what was initially predicted, but we were still able to limit out on vermillion snapper within 45 min!! That allowed us to hit several other locations where we caught a variety of other fish, including red grouper and triggerfish. They were incredibly helpful and knowledgeable and had us on fish right away. We even saw dolphins and yellowfin tuna feeding on speedos. Our group of 6 had a great time and would highly recommend Semper Fi Charters!!

    4 Hour Trip – Gulf Reef Fishing • 4 adults • 2 children

    Captain Eric was great! He was communicating with us a day out about the weather, and suggested pushing our depart time to allow for a better experience. His deckhand, Corey, was great as well. They were patient, and explained the ins and outs of what was going on. we caught plenty and will def rebook with them next time in town.

    Exceeded our Expectations!

    4 Hour Trip – Gulf Reef Fishing • 3 adults • 1 child

    The crew was awesome. They ensured we had a great time. We caught several species of fish including barracuda, red snapper, mahi, jacks and several others. This trip was great for our 12 year old son. I think he will remember this trip for the rest of his life (I know I sure will). I would definitely book this group again in the future.

    Best Fishing Trip Ever

    4 Hour Trip – Gulf Reef Fishing • 4 adults

    From the time we got on the boat the crew was awesome. I took my daughters who were new to deep sea fishing and they made us feel welcomed and appreciated. We caught a lot of fish and my girls had the best time. I will definitely be back and will be reserving another trip with them. Thank you for a great time and see you soon.

    4 Hour Trip – Gulf Reef Fishing • 5 adults • 4 children

    I took a group if 14-year-old boys with me on the fishing trip and the captain put us on the most fish we’ve ever seen in our life. The boys arms were so sore the next day from catching so many fish! they had the best time of their life, we will definitely be back.
