Great experience

4 Hour Trip – Inshore4 adults

super knowledgeable and friendly Captain and 1st mate. the Captain Chuck was extremely communicative and kept us updated on weather, and even offered to push the charter 1 day. We were unable to move the charter date due to heading home, so Chuck made sure we had the best experience possible despite the rougher seas. 100% will book with them again.

    2nd trip out

    6 Hour Trip – Inshore3 adults

    This was my 2nd trip out with Capt. Chuck. I took my father in law on his first offshore trip and had high expectations and wishes. Captain Chuck did more than just deliver those, he exceeded them, by far. He put us on fish everywhere we went and we were reeling them in all day long. I will definitely be back for a 3rd trip and highly recommend him to anyone. Thanks again Captain and 1st mate Dave for one hell of a memorable trip.

    Awesome trip in memory of our dads

    4 Hour Trip – Inshore4 adults1 child

    I took my girls, 9 and 15, out for Father’s Day since we lost their dad almost two years ago. He loved to take them fishing and they hadn’t caught a fish since. The fish really weren’t biting today, but they each managed to reel one in and it was a memory we’ll cherish forever. Captain Chuck let my youngest come up on the bridge to watch for dolphins and talk his ear off. And the first mate chatted with my oldest and I about everything under the sun. We had an awesome time out on the water and definitely plan to book a future trip again. Thanks so much for helping us remember old times and create new memories too!

    Best charter! Trophy Red!

    8 Hour Trip – Offshore Wreck2 adults

    We couldn't recommend Captain Chuck and First Mate Mike more highly! They're both personable and professional. The boat is clean and fast. They work to ensure you have the best time possible. I asked for big fish, kind of joking, because who doesn't? Within two hours of leaving the dock, we had caught our limit of big black drum and my wife even caught a 48" "trophy/citation" red drum. We caught and released several more before heading back. Mike cleaned the keepers, and we must have ended up with 15 pounds of filets or more. Great guys. Will plan the 12 hour next time! Thanks Chuck and Mike!

    Great day on the water

    4 Hour Trip – Inshore3 adults

    Captain Chuck called shortly after I booked the trip, we discussed the weather, water, and fishing conditions. From this call we decided to adjust our departure time in favor of better conditions. The day of the trip Captain Chuck and 1st mate were very accommodating making sure we were all set before launch. On the water, they were very knowledgeable about the seasonal patterns of the fish, what species to target, where to find them, and how to catch them. All-in-all a great day on the water. I can't say enough about the friendly crew, well maintained boat and tackle, and of course, the good time on the water. I'm already planning our next trip on the Pneuma!
