    A Perfect Day

    Half Day Trip – Inshore • 4 adults

    The Perfect Day Our trip couldn’t have gone better. The captain was extremely knowledgeable and never wasted time staying in one spot if the fish weren’t biting. Thanks to his experience, we were able to catch a variety of different fish species, which made the trip even more exciting. He made everything easy for us—casting right where he knew the fish would be, and it worked every time. I was with two friends who don’t speak English, and he was incredibly patient and accommodating with them, which we really appreciated. I chose this trip based on the reviews I read beforehand, and I can honestly say they were completely accurate. Highly recommend!

    Fantastic family trip

    Half Day Trip – Inshore • 3 adults

    We had three generations of fishermen on the boat and had a great time. As an experienced angler I recommend this trip for everyone even those who have never been fising. Captain Jeff knows his spots and takes care of it all. He'll even bait the hook and cast the line for you. You will have a good time!

    Great Fishing Trip!!!

    Half Day Trip – Inshore • 2 adults

    Let me start off by saying that Captain Jeff is awesome! He knows the area because he was born and raised here which is a plus! He has fished these waters his whole life. What more could you ask for in a guide! He is super freindly and accommodating. For a person that has never fished the species. He taught me the do’s and don’ts and how to land the fish properly! He also had some great recommendations for restaurants that cook your catch so he knows the area well. I highly recommend this charter and Captain Jeff I will definitely be fishing with him again when I visit Vero Beach! And a plus he is a Big Jimmy Buffett fan and plays his music! My only regret…we did a half day instead of a whole day! Thank You Captain Jeff for a great fishing trip!
