Great 5 hours on the water

5 Hour Trip – Evening

We had a mishap booking with another charter and captain darius was kind enough to take time and switch that captain to take us when we had planned on going fishing. He was very kind and professional the whole time and a pleasure to deal with. He was very informative about the fish and the areas where he will take you to catch them and answered all our questions. He made sure our trip was special and memorable for both of us and got us both multiple types of fish. This is a much more personal, chill and informational charter than with a big crowded party boat. If your looking to step up your charter game, dont hesitate just book it!

    Perfect Day Fishing

    Half day • 3 adults

    We had a perfect day with Captain Darius and First Mate Wes. Both were great, attentive, and super helpful. From the time we dropped our first lines in the water until we reeled up to come back Captain Darius had us on the fish. All day long. The boat is great, comfortable bean bag chairs and plenty of space. The rods and reels handled everything we needed on our trip. We caught many triggerfish, red snapper, and grunts. Also caught a bluefish, vermillion snapper, and a porkfish. Plenty of fish to bring home for our vacation fish fry. This was a great trip with a fantastic Captain and crew. Would recommend to anyone.

    Best Fishing Day Ever!

    Full Day trip • 4 adults

    Best described by my brothers who were on this Charter with me, “it was the best fishing day ever! It was EPIC and will never be forgotten”. Two of my brothers, their friend and I, all retirement age, shared this Charter. All 4 of us own boats and fish the area, so we were not new to the waters. Captain Darius exceeded our expectations in every way. He knew exactly where to find the fish, and as soon as we had lines in the water, the bite was on. We caught our limit of 24 impressive sized targeted fish in a short period of time. Captain Darius was personable and went above and beyond what we expected from a Charter Captain. He made sure we were comfortable. He graciously shared knowledge and expertise with us, that some might consider secrets of the trade. No question went unanswered no matter how much we picked his brain. All 4 of us ended the day with plenty of fish, laughs, interesting conversations, new knowledge, great fish stories, and memories that will last a lifetime. Captain Darius was a pleasure to spend the day with. If anyone is on the fence about whether a fishing Charter with Captain Darius is worth the money, collectively our answer is definitely yes. Well worth our time and money. We look forward to booking future fishing trips with Captain Darius on the Nauti Cartel.

    Nice offshore trip

    Half Day deep water • 3 adults

    Took a 6 hour offshore trip with Capt. Kevin. Went looking for Mahi on the long shot and ended up catching wahoo, amber jack and a couple other species. Hooked a large king mackerel, barracuda and two other wahoo but couldn’t get them on the boat. All three wahoo hit at the same time and it was a little hectic. Switched to bottom fishing and caught a bunch of red snapper but couldn’t keep any because of regulations. The sharks ate well though. Anyway, great trip, Capt. Kevin was great and we would book again with him or Capt. Darius.

    Great fishing trip

    Full Day trip • 4 adults

    Had an awesome time fishing with Nauti Cartel! 🎣 Captain Darius was great, knowledgeable, and made the whole trip so much fun. We caught some great triggerfish and red grouper and couldn’t have asked for a better day on the water! Highly recommend Nauti Cartel and Captain Darius—we’ll definitely be back! 🌊🎣

    Good time!

    Half day • 4 adults

    Captain Darius and First Mate Christopher were very personable and enjoyable to be with. We were hoping for an offshore trip but the seas were angry. Captain was able to pivot and bring us to a spot inshore where we were able to catch fish, including some we have never caught before despite being experienced anglers. Our 14 year-old twins were able to log in a bunch more fish for their S.T.A.R. tournament. Overall great day. Highly recommend Nauti-Cartel.
