Half Day Trip4 adults

We didn’t catch a lot of fish today (not our day..) but we got a few snappers and a big grouper so we were happy. We had to throw the grouper back so that was a bummer but its the law... Captain and his deck hand worked extremely hard to find us some fish. I have been out on charters before with not so great experience but these guys stood out and really cared to give us a good time! We all enjoyed the day on the water and I will definitely go out with Taco again for my next fishing trip.

    Stop Looking Cap Taco is the Man!

    10 Hour Trip - Daytime Swordfish • 6 adults

    Cap Taco is the man! He and his mate Mac were great. Captain Taco was great to work with, called the day prior to make sure we were all on the same page. once on the boat he made us feel like old friend, getting us on fish as soon as we hit the open ocean. Cap Taco kept us on the the fish while his mate Mac worked his @$$ off keeping lines in the water, and bates on the hooks and weed off. stop reading reviews and book with Capt Taco!

    Taco - The man the myth the legend

    3/4 Day Trip - 7:00 AM • 2 adults

    Taco is an amazing guy and a true professional. I'd recommend this charter to absolutely anyone - whether you're coming as a small group, a big group, or even with kids. Taco is the man. He's a local with a wealth of knowledge about the waters, the best fishing spots, and how to make the whole experience fun and successful. We landed some incredible fish —red snapper, mahi mahi, and amberjack-and had an unforgettable time out on the water. I'm super happy I had the opportunity to meet him and fish alongside him. It was an absolute blast from start to finish.

    Double Up Sailfish

    3/4 Day Trip - 7:00 AM • 2 adults • 1 child

    We had a great time fishing with Captain Taco and his first mate Jack. Even though it was a rough day on the water, they still had us hooked on some fish! We had to cut our day short due to some sea sickness but had an experience of a lifetime catching two Sailfish at the same time. First mate Jack worked hard rigging and baiting our fish in 5 to 6 foot waves. My son and I would highly recommend fishing with Taco and crew!

    Birthday/Anniversary Trip

    Full Day Trip • 2 adults

    Taco and his crewmate Mackenzie were the real deal! They got us hooked up on fish all day long period and were very welcoming. We caught Tuna, Baracuda, Snapper, Bonita, Etc… Got my King Mackeral mounted as well, I reccomend to anyone!!

    Response from Captain

    Nicholas, thank you very much for taking the time to write the review. It means a lot to us. I’m glad we’re able to get some first truth being told it was tough fishing, but nevertheless, I think we pulled the rabbit out of rack. Got lucky, especially that last minute King fish
