Great Fishing Trip

Half Day Trip – Inner Reef (AM)5 adults3 children

We caught all kinds of fish!! The captain was very knowledgeable in the area and the islands. on the way back we saw manatees. When we got back to the dock they cleaned the fish and treated us like family.

    Amazing Trip!

    Full Day Trip – Inner/Outer Reef • 5 adults • 1 child

    Capt Edlin and crew were amazing! We headed out to the reef in the morning for some Wahoo and Grouper…unfortunately conditions werent ideal but we got to ride the high seas and it was awesome. We came back over the reef and hit a TON of Barracuda and the entire family caught at least one (12 total) and it was a blast! Weather was perfect and we got to see a lot of the great outer islands along the way. Would definitely recommend!!! Thanks for the unforgettable ride!

    Perfect day!

    Full Day Trip – Inner/Outer Reef • 6 adults

    We had a wonderful day out on the water with the captain and crew. This was the highlight of our trip and it did not disappoint! The team helped us find where the fish were and we reeled in enough for a wonderful dinner in town (Harbor View fish prep was amazing - highly recommend!) and have a full cooler to make ceviche and bring some frozen fish home with us. I would recommend this charter to anyone interested in catching fish!

    Excellent small group experience

    Half Day Trip – Inner Reef (AM) • 3 adults • 2 children

    We had a great time fishing the outlying islands trolling for barracuda, snapper and others with artificial lures. Had two teenagers and they were fully entertained the entire trip. Was a great trip and would absolutely go again!
