  had a blast! it was our boys 1st time out and couldnt have went better.

  6 Hour Trip – Offshore Summer on July 10, 2026 • 5 adults • 2 children

  big shout out to Captain Anthony! The trip started out slow but Capt Anthony worked extremely hard moving around until we got fish in the boat. He did an awesome job entertaining our boys on a fun boat ride as well. We ended up with around 47 Mingos which is almost the limit for our crew and 1 big red grouper. Not counting the nice Cobia we caught that wasnt quite big enough and a bunch of Trigger fish too bad they was out of season. But will definitely hook up with this charter again. Dont let 1 bad review turn you away i would 100% advise you to trust the good ones with 1st Choice. Great guys!

  Thank you so much, Giancarlos! It was a pleasure having you and your boys aboard. Captain Anthony works hard to make sure every trip is a success, even when the fishing starts off slow, and we’re glad it paid off. Those Mingos and that red grouper made for a great day! We appreciate you trusting us and taking the time to share your experience. We hope to have your family back on the water again soon!

  Best fishing I’ve ever had!

  6 Hour Trip – Offshore Summer on June 24, 2026 • 4 adults

  Anthony is a heck of a guide! He made sure that everyone on the boat was included in catching fish and for the less experienced fishermen on the boat he was there to answer any and every question they had. We caught over 50 mingos and were able to keep 40 for our 4 person limit. We also caught many many trigger fish and rock fish and were able to catch some trophy sized Amber jacks! This trip was above and beyond anything we could’ve imagined and I can’t thank Anthony enough for being so kind and friendly and taking care of us while sending us home with a cooler full of fish and memories to last a lifetime!

  Awesome trip — tons of fish and a great captain!

  5 Hour Trip – Offshore Fishing (PM) on April 10, 2026 • 4 adults

  We had an amazing time on this trip! We caught around 40 fish and stayed busy the whole time, which made it a blast from start to finish. The captain was awesome—super fun, easygoing, and clearly knew exactly where to go to keep us on fish. He also had great music playing, which made the whole experience even better. If you’re looking for a fun, productive fishing trip with a great vibe, I highly recommend this one. We’ll definitely be back!

  “Hooked on Excellence!! The Best Fishing Charter Around”

  4 Hour Trip – Offshore Fishing (AM) on March 21, 2026 • 3 adults • 1 child

  We had an absolutely incredible experience out on the water. From the moment we stepped on board, the captain and crew were professional, knowledgeable, and fully committed to making sure we had a successful and enjoyable trip. The action was nonstop!!! We caught a ton of fish, and every step of the process was handled with skill and precision. The crew stayed attentive the entire time, helping with baiting, casting, and keeping lines in the water so we could focus on enjoying the experience. What really stood out was the level of customer service. These guys genuinely care about what they do, and it shows. They go above and beyond to make sure everyone on board has a great time, whether you’re experienced or it’s your first trip out. If you’re looking for a fishing charter that delivers results, professionalism, and a great atmosphere, this is the one to book. We’ll definitely be back.

  Fishing with Blake

  4 Hour Trip – Offshore Fishing (PM) on March 26, 2026 • 3 adults • 1 child

  Me and my best friend took our sons on a fishing trip with First Choice Charters, and it was our very first charter experience and it did not disappoint! From the moment we got on the boat, the crew made us feel welcome and made sure we had an amazing time. The kids had so much fun, we laughed the whole trip, and we caught plenty of fish! 🎣 It was such a great experience making memories with our boys out on the water. If you’re thinking about booking a fishing trip, I highly recommend First Choice Charters. We had an awesome time and will definitely be back!
