we were a little concerned the day before when we realized we get to our boat from the beach via water taxi! Dont be concerned it is well run and professional— just the way it gets done.

This Captain sends a water taxi to pick you up on the beach. We stayed at the Marriott, walked 3 minutes from our room to the beach, and were picked up at 6:00 am by the water taxi. Unbelievably convenient!

Only going 5 stars here because Noah was so good - he put us on fish all day. He worked hard. I suspect if we didn't have such a good captain, we may have had more trouble catching. He was on fish all day. We saw a few roosters in the morning, but couldn't land one...the Amberjacks were very aggressive and hit before the Roosters. He put us on a big school of snapper and on fish when we jigged at the end of the day.

Place your trust in Captain Randy and mates David and Kendal. They really know what they’re doing to find great fishing experiences. I booked a 3/4 day, caught 3 sailfish and lost 2!

Definitely figure out which season you're going in, but still book even if it isn't favorable. You never know what you might catch!
