Great time. Great boat and gear.

Capt Al was pleasant, knowledgeable and made sure we saw plenty of action including snappers, jacks, spotted trout, among others. Would recommend for an inshore trip around Pine Island. Thanks Al!

    Captain Al is the ''reel'' deal!

    1/2 Day Inshore Trip4 adults

    We had an amazing fishing trip with Captain Al. From start to finish, he was professional, knowledgeable, and incredibly patient. He knew exactly where to go and made sure everyone on board was comfortable and having a great time—whether you’re a beginner or an experienced angler. The boat was clean and well-equipped, and Captain Al shared great tips and local knowledge throughout the trip. We caught plenty of fish and made some unforgettable memories. Highly recommend Captain Al if you’re looking for a fun, safe, and successful fishing experience. We’ll definitely be booking with him again!

    Great 1st trip

    1/2 Day Inshore Trip6 adults

    We went with Captain Al and really enjoyed the trip. We weren't real picky on the types of fish, as long as we were catching fish. He put us on all types of fish from Catfish, Trout, lady fish and my daughter even caught a skipjack and shark. My wife caught a keeper Pompano as well. All around great trip with experienced fishers to a 1st time fisher in our group and we all had a great time! Looking forward to next time!!!

    Genuine Captain, Great time

    1/2 Day Inshore Trip2 adults

    Outstanding guy fishing for an admiral cause. Captain Al was welcoming, knowledgeable, patient, and great company. He was open to rescheduling bc of poor weather as well. Got some big redfish near Smokehouse Key. Highly recommend if you’re new to the area; he’ll answer any question you can think of. Thanks, Al!

    Fantastic family time fishing in Florida!

    1/2 Day Inshore Trip6 adults

    Al was a great captain. There were 6 of us and none of us had fished much, if ever. Al was patient and kept our hooks baited and lines in the water. We caught numerous fish and 7 were large enough to keep. He cleaned them for us and we took them home and pan fried them for lunch. It was a lot of fun. We even saw a dolphin, while fun, he did scare the fish away! Luckily it was at the very end of our trip and we had caught some fish. I would highly recommend Al for an enjoyable fishing trip.
