Let’s start with: What can we say, there are so many charters to choose from ! With being so disappointed with previous charters we wanted to try and do more research.  So we searched and we decided that La Costa Charters may be just that Charter.  Wow!  We are here to say you WILL NOT be disappointed! This was the most Awesome Fishing Experience Ever! Captain Patrick is so Knowledgeable, Very experienced, friendly and fun Captain. He knew right where the fish were and kept us entertained and on the fish the whole day. Thank you so much for the Awesome Fishing Trip Captain Patrick and we look forward to returning next year !

OUTSTANDING day of fishing!!
Patrick and Parker were both very professional and personable.
From the first stop till the last bait in the water, we were catching as many fish as we wanted! Patrick put us on the fish, and Parker couldn’t have worked harder landing all the fish and baiting all the hooks. We actually had to take breaks from fishing to rest our arms! These two guys absolutely know what they’re doing. The boat had plenty of room for fishing, was very clean and comfortable, plus shade. At the dock, they cleaned, filleted and packaged all of our fish for transport back home.
Could not recommend this trip and crew any higher. Money well spent.
Thanks guys!
By the way Patrick, the snapper was as delicious as you said!

Boat is rock solid, and was pleasant to be on despite some rough conditions.  We were catching fish almost immediately.  We didn’t care about what we caught this trip but if you want to get keeper grouper, in August, this is NOT your trip!  We got a lot of Porgy and Grunt and we had a fish FEAST with leftovers for lunch!  Did a little trolling and caught two Spanish Mackrel as well.  Boat ride is an hour out to about 14 miles so we could have stood to stay a little longer, but no need to be greedy.  Next time we go all day and get to the grouper grounds!!  Overall a perfect 4.5 hour trip for our non-fisherwoman daughter.  (Even though she had the first hook-up!)

My family and I booked a 5 hour trip with Captain Patrick and La Costa Charters and it was well worth it!  He took us to three different fishing holes and we all reeled in fish after fish at each hole. He told us what we were catching, watched as we didn’t know we had a fish on and told us to reel.  He had a deck hand who would take the fish off the hook, and put bait on our hook. This was great for my daughter who absolutely will not touch fish much less bait, so she was able to reel in fish and not touch them. All in all we all had a blast and Captain Patrick made it very enjoyable. He also gave us a great recommendation on where to take our fish and have them cook it for us for dinner, The Conch Republic. There’s nothing better than eating your catch that fresh!  If you’ve never gone out to fish in 50-60 feet waters I’d highly recommend booking with this company and Captain Patrick.

In town for the week from Texas. The family has always loved to fish, but the kids had never been charter fishing. Found La Costa Charters and read the reviews which were stellar. Found a trip that fit our schedule and we were not disappointed! Captain Patrick and 1st Mate Parker were absolutely marvelous! They had a morning charter and had everything ready to go for our trip. They weather was perfect. The boat and gear was in shape and ready to go. Worked out our plan with Captain Patrick - first half of trip we went and trolled a wreck and 2nd half we went and caught dinner! The trip and crew did not disappoint! Cannot thank La Costa Charters enough for a great time-fish on!
