5-Hour Snapper Trip

5 hour trip - 1:30 PM11 adults5 children

We took the Fairwater II out with a group of 11 (6 adults, 5 kids). The boat was more than spacious for all of us. The kids had a great time reeling in Spanish Mackrel and Red Snapper. The Captain and mate were great hosts and were great with the kids! Even when the bite slowed, they worked hard to get us back on the Snapper. Overall, the trip was great and we would definitely recommend them and use them again when we come back!

    great trip

    4 hour Spring break special8 adults

    just got done with a 4 hour combo charter. this was one of the most professional crews out there. we were going to start woth trolling then go to bottom fishing. the cpt. decided last second to switch it up so we raced the other charters out to the spot. im glad he changed it up. we had 8 people fishing in our group and we hit our limit in about 40 mins. we trolled back looking for mackerel didnt catch any of those. but when you are heading back to the dock with 80 keepers thats not to disappointing. once we got back to the dock it was nice to see what experience got us other boats were coming back with a total of 14 fish. while our deck hand was cleaning our 80. both cpt and first mate were very knowledgeable and willing to share the knowledge.

    Great all the way around!

    6 Hour Trip (AM)11 adults4 children

    We just got back from a 6 hour family trip on Captain Tom’s boat, the Fairweather II. We had 7 adults and 3 kids. The boat has a lot of room and a great wrap around deck. We could have fit several more adults and kids if we wanted. We easily caught our limit and had several trophy fish to boot! Tom found the fish and Brad made sure we landed them. The deckhand, Brad, was great with our family and kids, just a great guy all around. Our haul was far better than the competitors at the dock. We’ll book this trip again. No question. Thanks for a great time!

    4 Hour Trip (AM)7 adults2 children

    What a great Captain and 1s mate. I would absolutely recommend to anyone. The experience we had was beond words. Reather you have experience or not you will have fish and have a remarkable time. Captain put us right on the fish and 1st mate helped all of us from bateing our rods to recommding how deep to drop in the water. I would not believe how much we took away in such a short time but it shows in their experience. Come see Capt. Tom and 1st mate Brad for your self.

    Family’s favorite fishing trip!

    6 Hour Trip (PM)11 adults

    My family of 3 teenage boys have been on several fishing trips - in shore, deep sea, fly fishing, etc. Yesterday we took our extended family - there were 11 of us ranging from 13 to 71 years old. It was the best fishing trip we’ve ever had. Captain Tom got us on the fish, we caught our limit of snapper and several othee kind of fish. Deck hand Brad was fabulous- helping everyone catch fish and enjoy. Highly recommend!!

    Captain Tom and deckhand Brad did an awesome job which led to a great day of fishing! We had 8 people in our group and all caught our limit on Red Snapper. We also caught a dozen or more Spanish Mackerel. Had a really great time. Highly recommend!
