We had such a great trip with Captain Nate!  Communication with him was excellent and easy, which was greatly appreciated.  There were 4 of us (including a 13 year old kid obsessed with fishing), and the boat was very roomy and we could move around very comfortably.  We caught a variety of fish and it was apparent that Captain Nate worked hard to make sure we had the best trip possible.  He was especially good with our 13 year old.  He also told us about a rocket launch that was happening after our trip and suggested we stay to watch it, which we really appreciated because we had not known about that…and we did stay to watch and enjoyed that so much!  Thanks, Captain Nate!  I’d highly recommend Checkmate Charters.

Booked a charter with Captain Nate for my sons 11th Birthday. We were only out for a short amount of time before we had our first shark! By the end of our trip we had caught 10 sharks and countless smaller fish! Other charters around us weren’t catching a single thing the entire time we were out and we were catching what seemed to be non stop! Captain Nate and Luke made such a great team and made our trip absolutely worthwhile and a great afternoon! Next time we are back in Florida we will definitely be booking with them again!

My wife and I booked our son a 4-hour coastal charter with Captain Nathan of Checkmate Charters for his 13th birthday.  Our only request was to try and catch a hammerhead shark.  We were not disappointed!  Not only did our son get a hammerhead on his first catch but we caught THREE hammerhead sharks in total, in addition to several Spanish Mackerel.  We had an absolute blast and Captain Nathan was incredibly knowledgeable and a joy to fish with.  I’d highly recommend the Coastal Fishing Charter with Captain Nathan of Checkmate Charters!

The online ad said up to 6 people, but there was only 4 of us on our family fishing trip. Was a good sized boat powered with a Cummins Diesel. Comfortable inside seating. The boat was well equipped with all necessary stuff like radios, phone, radar, sonar and everything else needed to fish in the ocean. Even a toilet. Captain Nate was knowledgeable, informative, pleasant and very professional. We all got to catch fish, although one had to go back. Captain Nate cut and cleaned, even bagged the fish and recommended a restaurant that would prepare our catch. We had a great trip and would go with Checkmate again if we get the opportunity
