Kevin was an amazing fishing guide! We were supposed to be 7am-11am, and mentioned we wanted to try to catch some tarpon, and he called us the night before and said that the fishing we were interested in was really good the last couple days earlier in the morning and asked if we wanted to go at 6 so we were able to catch some, and we really appreciated him wanting to make sure we got what we were interested in! We caught tarpon, snapper, a couple other fun fish, some bonitos and a shark! He explains things really well and is super helpful with casting and making sure you get fish. He filleted our snappers perfectly so we could take them to a restaurant. Very nice guy, 10/10 would recommend and book again!

Captain Kevin was awesome! We met at the dock at 6:30 and the boat was loaded up and ready for us to walk on and get going. After a quick safety briefing we made our way to the jetties and not 10 minutes later my wife landed her first tarpon!

He was incredibly patient with our girls and had them reeling up more fish than they could handle. (In fact they both needed a nap about an hour and a half in)

As the tide began to shift, and I broke off on a monster snook, we decided to run the beaches in search of Bonita and more tarpon. The kids got to experience everything from dolphins to a shark feeding frenzy behind a shrimp boat! As we made our way in we made a quick pit stop at a small sand bar for the kids to swim, and ended the day catching even more mangrove snapper and black drum.

Overall it was the EXACT trip I had in mind. Everyone had an amazing experience and we cannot wait to book with Captain Kevin next year. If you are an experienced angler like myself, or it’s your first time out and you want your family to experience the ocean in a way they’ve never experienced it before, I have zero hesitancy recommending this trip.

Fun day! Captain Kevin had a family emergency but he didn’t let us down. Captain Mike took us out even though it was cold. We caught fish and had many bites. Better fishing than expected in the cold weather. Mike was funny and professional. He baited the hooks and helped with casting. We got to bring home filleted fish that tasted great.  Would definitely recommend this trip.

I don’t even know how to explain how amazing our trip was in just this review. Capt Kevin was amazing. He put us on the fish right away and the action never stopped. From redfish and snook, to hunting triple tail, then finishing off with a huge blacktip shark. He has an amazing boat that is perfect for landing any type of fish. Capt. Kevin also taught us tips and tricks for fishing in general and I really learned a lot. 11/10 would recommend and will definitely be chartering again in the near future. Truly an unforgettable experience.

This was our 1st experience out with captain Kevin, but it will definitely not be our last. He was very attentive and knowledgeable…..helping us to know what we were catching. I would highly recommend anyone wanting to fish to check out Coastline Charters…. Captain Kevin will not disappoint!!!
