We booked a 4 hr trip for the family.  We are so grateful for Seth and Gage!  It was a family trip…everybody caught fish…our 13 year old caught two huge amber jacks…the rest of us caught king and Spanish mackerel.  Our boys were talking before we even got off the boat about coming back on their next break!  Our 16 year old told his little brother, “this has been the most boring funnest summer ever”, said it was the most fun because of the fishing trip.  Anybody who has teens knows...

Captain Seth and deckhand (Gage) were great. Gage was a busy man.  We had some rain and a persistent thief (porpoise) of bait.  We caught the limit on snapper fairly quickly and did some trolling.  Seems like everyone got a chance to reel a fish in from trolling.  My best part was the catch & release of an amberjack (fun fight). We must have did ok based on the reaction on the dock at the end when taking fish pictures (they all seem to like the king mackerel).  Overall, it was a great family... More

The Captain knows where to find the fish! We jumped from spot to spot catching fish fast. If we stopped and the fishing wasn’t great he did waste time moving to the next location. The deckhand stayed busy the entire trip, keeping everyone’s line in the water. He made short work of cleaning the fish when we arrived back at the dock. All around great trip.

Captain Seth was great. 1st mate was awesome. Boat was very nice. Crew worked hard to put us on some fish we could keep but the weather was terrible. High winds. cold temps. day after a cold front. Snapper season was closed. not a good choice by us not the crew’s fault. would definitely use riptide again and recommend for others just not this time of year.

Seth was easy going along with his deckhand, Gage. We had a great time with plenty of chances to pull in great fish.
