Captian David was extremely knowledgeable and despite him not having to keep us out longer he chose too putting his own time off aside. Captian David was very helpful, knowledgeable, and friendly. Captian David taught us so much about the trade and the area. Captian David kept our hooks baited and worked his tail off. We had an awesome time and a great dolphin show too. We will be back!
Went on an afternoon trip with my son on March 31st following a Gale warning with 8 - 11 ft. waves and Captain Jordan was still able to find us some fish to catch!ย Great Captain that made the trip very enjoyable!!!
We went on the weekend right after the hurricane.. The wind was strong, and many charters were not out.ย I still booked the trip.ย Captain JJ called me, and warned me that the trip may not be satisfying since we couldnโt fish in the gulf (but just the bay).. the bay was very muddy as well.. He wanted us to cancel the trip, and he would refund the deposit..ย he was very sincere about ensuring full customer satisfaction..ย Even after he warned us, he was patient enough to wait for a callback from me (I wanted my kids to decide knowing the facts.. knowing that we may not catch anything under circumstances., My kids still wanted to goโฆ
Captain Andrew took us out.. most charters appeared to have no action.. we were very fortunate that we maxed out on our red fish, and caught some other keepers as well.. we even caught some that we released because we already maxed on red fish.. how about catching baby groupers in the bay as well..ย Captain Andrew helped my kids catch some fish, and patiently taught them how to fish..ย
Great experience.. great crew.. and great, honest captain!!!

Had a great day fishing with Captain Andrew.ย He was fun to be with and worked very hard.ย Fishing tackle was high quality and well maintained.ย Stayed busy catching fish. Limited on red snapper and caught 10 or so AJs. Two negative comments: Fishing booker said the captain would contact us before the trip.ย I expected that to be a phone call or at least a text or email discussing what we would be going after and any preferences we had.ย Instead all we got was a text saying who the captain would be and when to meet him.ย Since he was not either of the captains discussed on the fishing booker website, I felt somewhat like a victim of โbait and switch.โย However we had no complaints with Captain Andrew and would fish with him again.ย I would also note the website address on fishing booker is incorrect.

Thank you for the kind words Bruce Iโm glad that you guys had a great time. Our business has been open for several years now and I myself Captain JJ Botelho have always been with the company. Andrew has been full time with us for over a year, but we donโt necessarily have the same captains we always have as weโve had to let a couple go over the years or they have decided to move on. We do our best to provide you with local knowledgeable captains that work hard for you. I apologize for the delayed contact but I thought I spoke with you twice before sending you the informational text on where we are located. Unfortunately we are so busy this time of year and I do all the booking, run trips every day, and have 14 month old twins, and all of the maintenance on the boats, so I donโt have as much time to contact customers days out when we are in our busiest month. I have tried to avoid getting someone to do our booking so our clients still are able to talk to an actual Captain when they call. You are given my number the day of booking and instructed to call with any questions you may have. I apologize for any inconvenience and we look forward to seeing you guys again in the future. We hope you enjoyed your vacation!

Appreciate Andrew honoring our request to cast for red fish. He was skeptical given the time of year and water temp, but proceeded. He went to 2 different spots looking for the live bait then went to the first spot. We ended up catching 8 redfish among several other species. Fun time until Mother Nature forced us to the dock early. Thank You
