We had a great experience with Chris and Shelly! They were incredibly kind, knowledgeable, and knew the area so well. They got us on the fish right away — the mingos were biting faster than we could bait our hooks! When the waves stopped playing nice with our stomachs, they were so thoughtful and flexible. Instead of cutting the trip short or pushing through feeling sick, they gave us a scenic tour of the area and still made the experience enjoyable. You can tell they genuinely care... More

This was our first time on a private charter boat and Captain Chris and Caleb made the experience wonderful. We took our 4 young kids (ages 10, 8, 7, and 5) and Chris was very kind and courteous towards them. Our kids have never fished before and I am so thrilled I let my husband talk me into this activity.

This was most of our first time deep sea fishing. The captain was very knowledgeable and make it a great experience. We got to catch some big fish as well. Even with the waves being pretty strong the experience was well work it. We will definitely be back

Captain Chris got us on fish quickly and was very attentive. We were able to land several species and had a great time. We were hoping to take home fish for family, and he made it happen.  Boat was well maitained and easy to find.  We left with a cooler of fish and sore arms. Will definitely be a repeat customer.
