Captain Ben and his deck hand, Ryan, were phenomenal. We did the half day trip and they got us right on some fish. Ryan ran his booty off keeping our hooks baited, giving tips, getting our fish in the cooler and we were catching as soon as our hooks were in the water. Captain Ben communicated with us several times before the trip, gave us great expectations on what types of fish we would be going after, and made the trip fun and informative. The boat itself is very nice. She’s... More

Hey Deborah, your group did an awesome job catching those sheepshead. Yo also caught another 14 throwbacks or so just under the size limit. Y’all were fun and enthusiastic group. Thank you for fishing with us and we look forward to your return. Enjoy eating those fillets!

Fishing was tough after heavy rains, storms and commercial fishings boats having scooped up the bait fish just days before our trip. The captain changed up fishing techniques at least 4 times and even extended our time in an effort to get us a fish or two but the fishing conditions were just not in our favor. The captain and first mate were great and very accommodating. I recommend this crew to anyone who wants a fun day on the gulf.

Caught 9 sharks on our bachelor trip. Captain Ben and Luke were great at lining us out and setting up the group for success. they communicated well as well. Had some weather in the morning of, but they reached out to us and reassured an altered takeoff time. Definitely recommend.

CPT Ben and hands helped our family have a great time on our first salt water fishing excursion. Superb work keeping our hooks baited and in front of the fish. Tips and pointers were instrumental in helping us get fish on - and on the boat. Highly recommend.

What a great experience for our family. Hard to put into words the enjoyment watching my 11 year old real in a fish the size of a cooler! She will remember that forever. Beautiful afternoon and evening spent catching fish with my loved ones. Captain Ben was very accommodating and knowledgeable. Ryan took care of all of us, we were pampered fishermen & women. Thank you so much. We would love to come back!
