I have taken a lot of fishing charters in Florida and this has been one of my favorite trips.ย The Captain and crew who are brothers, are amazing.ย From the initial booking, we had great communication with them.ย They wanted to make sure we had the best experience possible and we did.ย The boat was clean and big. It fit our group of 4 adults and 2 children.ย There is a nice size cabin (which my daughter loved) with a bathroom. The boat ride and fishing was great.ย We caught a lot of fish and canโt wait to cook them up. Ariel and Alex made our trip so much fun.ย They are a family owned business and take pride in what the do.ย My wife who isnโt into fishing, caught some fish and had a blast.ย We highly recommend this fishing charter and would book again in the near future.ย Thanks again Hookem & Cookem for the great memories with my family!!!

Haha! Thatโs so awesome! We are so happy that you all had a great time! Thatโs what we aim for, we treat everyone like family. We really appreciate the review!
Alex and Ariel are fantastic! They make you feel right at home and know where to find the fish. We got bites all dayโฆ and thenโฆ the crazy thunderstorm! It came on quick, they sent us to the cabin and they weathered it getting us back safely! We could have left long before, but they allowed us to fight (a decent size shark we believe) for quite awhile until it decided we had bothered it long enough, and broke the line. It was a great family experience for myself, niece, and two brother-in-laws. If your are looking for a good time on the water, we highly recommend you contact Hookem N Cookem! We just enjoyed the spoils last night! They gutted and scaled em for us in the rain before we got out of the marina. We will see them again someday!!

Hahaha thank you for the amazing review! We are so happy you had a great time! And yep that storm was crazy O.O
Ariel and Alex are a joy to fish with. They will make you feel welcome, and try to accommodate your wishes. Always remember to let them know if you want to do something else than what you are already doing, and they will try their best. Boat is great - even has a fully functional toilet! The trip out to sea from the dock is around 40 minutes, but they make up for it by spending more time on the water than other charter boats at the same price point. Fishing tackle and gear was flawless, and we caught some Barracuda, Mahi, Kingfish and other smaller fish. Would gladly go again with you guys! All the best from Denmark ๐๐ Tight lines ๐ฃ

Awwww! Thank you so much for the amazing review and feedback! Iโm sure you are both happy to be back home with the Vikings! ๐
My kids are 8 and 10 and could not be happier with their experience!! My husband and I were so impressed with the patience these guys had with our children! They are two AMAZING people! Their boat and equipment was very clean as well, no fishy smell! They were also great in educating us on how to โavoidโ sea sickness. All in all absolutely AMAZING experience and would strongly recommend it to anyone but most definitely for families! Thank you for a great time guys you rocked it!!!!!! We caught 11 different types of fish! The bite was steady so it was never boring or dull!! You want to have a great reef fishing experience Iโd book with these two!!!!

Thank you all for the amazing feedback! We really apreciate you, and loved having your family aboard! Thank you!
Boat was excellent - slip proof padded floor, bathroom, cabin for shade, ample space, ability to sit on front or back. Crew was great with my younger kids teaching them technique, helping them bait hooks and take off fish, and answering one million questions from my 8 year old. One note: you need to be flexible on time as their doc can restrict getting to the fishing spot because of the tide - we booked an 830 am trip that wasnโt able to start until 11.
Thank you so much for the amazing review! We were glad to have your family aboard and are so happy you all enjoyed the trip!
