  Great experience!

  Half Day – Inshore/Nearshore on July 24, 2026 • 6 adults • 4 children

  Captain Sam could not have done a better job. We had four children under 10 in our group and he put us on the fish. He maximized the catch considering the age and experience of the group. When one member got a little sea sick he just moved us into a little calmer water. Caught mix of lane snapper, mangrove snapper, grunt and gag grouper. Had some bigger stuff on but were unable to land mostly due to age and inexperience. Highly recommend hiring Captain Sam if you want to catch fish.

  The experience matters!

  Half Day – Inshore/Nearshore - 1:00 PM on March 23, 2026 • 2 adults

  My son and I booked the afternoon with captain Sam. It was everything we hoped for. The captain has a calm, laid-back style that made the whole experience feel effortless — no pressure, no rush, just a genuine love for being out on the water. We caught fish, the weather cooperated beautifully, and the conversation flowed naturally. It was one of those afternoons where everything just clicks. If you're looking for a relaxing, rewarding day on the water with someone who clearly knows what he's doing, look no further. We'd absolutely book again.

  Chartered for Fishing, ended up Catching

  Full Day Trip – Offshore on September 19, 2026 • 4 adults

  From the first bait drop till dang near the last, Captain Sam kept us on the fish and the bite was alive. Arms and back are sore today from non-stop action. I’d definitely recommend and will be booking again.

  Half Day – Inshore/Nearshore on June 20, 2026 • 3 adults

  when tou bookt heae things sometimes you end up with people who are not living in the area and really are not much of a fisherman BUT Sam is not that. he knows his stuff ans his boat and equipment is the real deal. He knows what he is doing. We did shallow and deep water fishing and caught many fish. You will not be disappointed with Sam. Go for it!!

  3/4 Day Trip – Offshore on December 14, 2025 • 2 adults

  Outstanding experience. Sam was amazing and very thorough on explaining techniques in order to catch the fish. My 13yr old had the directions down, and caught her first permit as well as a ton of other species. Followed by my son catching 2 additional permit. It was a very successful day. Thank you Sam for helping us make some awesome memories. Ps based on Sam’s recommendations we made delicious fish tacos and grilled the permit fillets. Permit was delicious!!
