  Captain Mitch made it a trip that my kids will remember forever

  3/4 Day Trip (AM) on March 24, 2026 • 4 adults • 2 children

  Started the morning off with great communication and easily to access. Went out and Captain Mitch was very easy to get along with, hands on, put the kids (11 and 9 years old) first, and was extremely knowledgeable. The trip was easy to enjoy, caught tons of fish of all sorts of species, and ended up with several keepers. As we waited for him to fillet the fish we noticed other charters that went further out or spent more time out with less fish and statements made about less action on the water. Both my boys can not quit talking about the trip and my wife even became more involved and loved the experience. (She is scared of fish and not excited about being out in a boat in the ocean) my wife and kids are already looking forward to the next trip with Captain Mitch.

  One for the books!

  3/4 Day Trip (PM) on April 21, 2026 • 2 adults

  We did a 6-hour charter with Captain Santiago, and it was truly one of the best experiences we could have asked for. From spotting dolphins, sea turtles, and manatees to catching so many fish we didn’t even know the names of(thankfully Santiago did!), every moment was memorable. The highlight was landing our target species the Goliath grouper, not once but twice, all thanks to Santiago’s expert guidance. His knowledge, patience, and enthusiasm made the entire trip even more enjoyable. We’ll definitely be back for round two. Thanks again for an incredible trip!

  Shark!

  Half Day Trip – NIGHT FISHING on April 3, 2026 • 2 adults

  Santiago is amazing! Very knowledgeable of local waters. Would highly recommend. Patient with kids. He was very diligent to ensure we had a great trip. We caught a small shark as hoped and his equipment is very well kept and maintained. He maintains a positive and uplifting attitude with his clients. He also takes time to explain the process and what fish are feeding on at a particular time/ point of the season. Looking forward to another trip with him at some point in the future. Additionally, he explains local history of Keewaydin Island.

  Captain Lucas worked hard to get us fish

  3/4 Day Trip (AM) on September 5, 2026 • 2 adults

  Wehad a great trip. We caught black drum, snook, red gouper, grunts, lane snapper, mangrov snpper, porgie, trigger fish, and spanish mackerel. I'm sure there's a species or two I'm missing. I would go again with them! It was well worth it and so much better than a headbat and no hat much more money.

  Caught Fish All Day!

  Half Day Trip (3-7PM) on March 20, 2026 • 3 adults

  Captain Mitch put us on the right spots in the water consistently all day long! We caught a good mix of Sheepshead, Scup, and Snapper, along with occasional nuisance of some Hardhead Catfish. Mitch was very attentive and was always nearby to keep our rods loaded with bait. My only complaint was the Snook that got away but I’ll be back to get him! Can’t recommend this charter enough!
