Over all it was a great trip the captain and first hand man put me on the fish and even had a sailfish on which what i was targeting on a “off season..only recommendation i ha e for everyone is bring at least 200 dollars for live bait..and believe me you will need them and ask for new address because on thier page it is an old address..good luck everyone!
The four hour trip began inauspiciously because of the confusing information shared by the booking agency regarding the boat’s location. The instructions indicated a drive to the Riviera Beach Marina, but did not include a specific address. The address included in the instructions led us to a residence in Boynton Beach. We arrived half hour late, so our total time fishing was about 3 hours. Captain Wayne was rightfully so concerned about our safety and well being, although he didn’t insist on us wearing life vests. We trolled the area about 1-2 miles offshore and caught one barricuda and several benitas, which are used for bait. We were disappointed that we didn’t catch more fish. The highlight was seeing several schools of porpoise swimming near the boat. Deck mate Ricky was great and knowledgeable. If you’re okay with a 4 hour boat ride and not too concerned about catching fish, Hook-n-up is the boat for you.

We didn’t catch any edible fish during our four hours but it wasn’t the captain’s or the first mate’s fault. They were very professional and friendly. Ricky, the first mate, was a hard worker and we had a fun time talking to him. He was great with the kids too. The boat was good and we had a great time cruising around nonetheless. We wouldn’t hesitate to book with them again and just pray to Jesus, Yaweh, Allah and Buddah for more fish next time.
There was a slight hiccup with our booking and we left the dock about 45 minutes later than we planned but owner John was there at the dock to greet us and went out of his way to accommodate us and made sure we got a full 4 hours in. Capt Dwayne was great and he really interacted well with our kids. Fish were.not biting but he and mate Dillon worked hard just the same and we wound up with a nice Tuna and a Bonita. We made seared tuna for dinner thanks to Dwaynes recipe so be sure and ask him he is a great cook as well as captain. These guys are the real deal. You won be disappointed. The group that went out with them in the morning also came back with two nice mahi even though they were not on the bite.

thanks for the nice review Michele. I am glad your crew had a good time
Had a great afternoon trip. Caught 3 Dolphin and a wahoo. Only 1 keeper, but thanks to the Captain’s recipe had an amazing dinner last night.
Our captain and first mate work very hard to make sure that every trip is and exciting experience! Thank you Kevin for chartering with us!
