I fish all over and am a captain myself and i decided to take my son and some family fishing while on vacation.  if you are looking for an amazing captain and mate to out you on fish, Scott is your man. Unbelievable day on the water. Scott immediately put us on fish at our first spot landing a couple large amberjacks, sea bass and snapper. Scott had four or five different spots we hit during the day and every one produced!  He’s by far one if the best captains ive had the pleasure of fishing... More

Captain Scott and his first mate Mr. Pat was awesome! very easy going and patient. We had some family fly up from San Diego to test the Atlantic waters and Captain Scott did not dissapoint! Fought a whole lot of Amberjacks, Vermilion Snappers, Black Sea Bass and a lot more variety of species! We had a great time and will book again with McKinley Charters again!!

Great boat, great captain and great 1st mate!  I’ll definitely be rebooking next year. I’ve been skunked on several other charters but this trip made up for all of that! Big thanks

We had a super fun time, very respectful and generous owners. Highly recommend for your next outing and we will ABSOLUTELY book again! We took kids on our trip and they had a blast as well. If you want big fish this guy can put you on them and you will not regret booking. this trip. Great boat for deep sea fishing and well maintained.

We had a blast. I have chartered with numerous captains while visiting Surfside and I’ve had the best opportunities with McKinley’s. We caught a variety of fish and moved when the bite slowed. My teenage boys loved it and have not stopped talking about how sore their arms were/are after catching so many fish.
