Capt. Lawrence and his mate Tyler were top notch today. We had a slow first hour, but then the capt found the birds and it was a tuna frenzy! Both captain and and mate were very courteous and happy to share information about the islands or general fishing information.

It was a great experience for my wife and I... More

Our half a day on the RipTide with Forrest and RJ could not have been better. The boat was in excellent shape, the equipment was professional grade, and the knowledge and courtesy of the crew was beyond expectations. Forrest and RJ cared deeply about us having a great time and they work very hard to make everything perfect. It was!
