- I love just bending a rod over but I prefer offshore species. If I had to do one type of fishing for the rest of my life it would be dragging teasers and pitch baiting Marlin

This was by far the best charter fishing trip I’ve taken. Captain Rick not only put us on some fish but was a very professional and genuine good person. Me and my family have been coming to Florida for years for summer vacation and this fishing trip certainly made our trip more enjoyable this year. Now with our family growing with each new grandchild, we are happy to have found a fishing charter that Is certain to become a family outing year after year! Life is too short to hesitate spending time with family. If you want to make some lasting memories with family or friends, don’t let this charter pass you by- you will not be disappointed. Thanks Captain Rick for a great experience- we will be booking Marlin Hunter Fishing Charters again soon.

Rick is an amazing captain and his boat was the best. He kept us on fish all day even when the weather wasn’t the best.

We asked Captain Rick to catch a shark. He did everything in his power to do so. Sadly, we were skunked on the shark, but he DID put us on the fish and we were able to catch and release some decent red snapper and our first triggerfish.
He scoured the Gulf in search of some big sharks, and he and Griff worked their butts off trying to hool us up. We had a couple of REALLY NICE fish on, but hung up in the wrecks before we could land them. We also marked several VERY large fish, so he definitely knew what was up.
Exceptional vessel, professional and HARD WORKING attitude, and beautiful scenery (porpoises, etc) will keep us coming back!
Only reason overall 4 stars is we missed out on JAWS.

Had an awesome time. They made sure that everybody had a chance to catch something, and they cared when we got sick. Both guys were super nice, and were up for whatever we wanted to do.

My son (age 12) found Rick on YouTube and wanted to go fishing with him since we vacationing in Pensacola. It was a great decision!! Rick was awesome. He was very flexible in catering to what my son wanted to fish for. Rick spoke to him on the phone many times! We caught our limit of Red Snapper but Rick still took us to another spot to fish for Mackerel (which he didn’t have to do).
I would HIGHLY recommend Marlin Hunter Fishing charters. Very professional yet very personal. You can tell Rick really cares about people. He even let my son get behind the wheel of his boat and drive!!!

Great day offshore! We encountered two huge free swimming Hammerheads, marveled at Tunas busting bait on the surface, boxed a bunch of Dolphin (my daughter’s first!), and battled a 60lb + Wahoo on light tackle. The crew’s performance was especially impressive in landing our big Wahoo as he was caught on a light mono leader, we only had one shot to put him in the boat and they made it happen! Captain Rick put us on the fish!
