Great Family Trip with Capt Randy

6 Hour Trip – Nearshore (AM)4 adults

We met up with Capt Randy at 6am on a (really) hot day in late June 2025 for a 6 hour fishing trip. Based on the days conditions, Capt Randy recommended a run out to a reef for bottom fishing. We road about 45-50 mins out to the reef on a very calm ocean day. On our out to the reef, we spotted a sea turtle and got a cobia on a lucky cast. Capt Randy trained us on the reef fishing techniques and we caught many fish! Black Seabass, Triggerfish, and Sea Robin Fish. Many fish we had to toss back, but we did keep a handful. Wonderful day for a family of 4 (14yo, 16yo) on a six hour trip.

    We had a awesome trip!!

    4 Hour Trip – Inshore (AM) • 2 adults • 1 child

    We had an awesome trip yesterday! I took my 5-year old son with me, and the captain was extremely accommodating and patient the entire trip. We spent the day trolling for Spanish mackerel and ended up catching both Spanish and bluefish. The action stayed steady, the weather was great, and most importantly, my son had an absolute blast. Seeing how excited he was every time a rod went off made the whole trip great. You can tell the captain truly appreciate the business and care about giving people a good experience. I’d definitely recommend this charter.

    Riptide got it done!

    4 Hour Trip – Inshore (PM) • 4 adults

    Captain Randy got us on the Drum. We moved several times till we found the fish and then it was all hands on deck. The whole family got in the action with my wife complaining her arms hurt from hauling in the big one! Thanks Randy, that was a great day spent with a very happy and satisfied group!

    They tried …

    4 Hour Trip – Nearshore (PM) • 3 adults

    Randy was a great guy! Our trip for Wednesday was cancelled with another guy, so I contacted Randy for a Friday trip.. Randy proved to be a really good guy who was also disappointed with the low yield. It was a new adventure for me, as I’ve never tried this type of fishing. Randy taught me how to cast, so there’s that! I’d recommend on a better day!

    Greta short trip for families with younger kids

    2 Hour Trip (Evening) • 5 adults • 3 children

    Perfect trip (2hrs) for families with smaller kids. Caught lots of smaller fish and some large sting rays. Highly recommend this for younger kids, 2 hours was perfect. Crew was great and took great care of baiting and unhooking fish.

    Fun trip

    8 Hour Trip • 4 adults

    We caught some sheephead, a black drum, and a couple of sting rays. Slow day of fishing but Captain did his best to put us on the fish and showed us fishing technique for catching sheephead. We will definitely book with them again in the future.
