Captain James put me right on the fish. Caught Mahi on my first 5 or 6 cast. After limiting out on Mahi he took me to a sunken ship. I caught a nice Amberjack. Had to release because Amberjack are out of season. I had 2 hook up that where much bigger but they broke off. I highly recommend Captain James. Very helpful and knowledgeable.

Loaded up on the Mahi. Little bit of a run to get to them but the payoff was great. Captain James

We had an incredible experience with Apex Charters! The captain was friendly, knowledgeable, and made the entire trip so much fun from start to finish. You can tell they genuinely care about giving their guests a great day on the water. The boat was clean, everything was well organized, and they worked hard to keep us on fish. Whether you’re an experienced fisherman or just looking for a fun day out, Apex Charters is really the perfect choice. We made some amazing memories and... More

Your group were rock stars. Your daughter put on a fishing seminar bottom fishing. lol. Definitely a great day on the water, a little choppy but it didn’t stop us from crushing it. Looking forward to our next adventure. Captain James

Captain James was great, even before we arrived at the marina. Unfortunately, mother nature kept us from our original off shore charter and he worked with us to switch to a half day inshore trip. Our group was looking for a tasty dinner table catch and he delivered by putting us on lots of Spanish Mackerel. In a 3 hour span, we headed back to dock with 28 fish. It was a gorgeous day in the bay, despite a few ‘Greg-ing it ups’. We had the best time and look forward to a future trip with Captain... More

Thank you for a great review. Mother nature was working against us a little but we were able to still make a good day of fishing. Hope to see you on your next trip down. Captain James

I can’t say enough about Captain James. There have been some weather issues the last couple of days and he communicated with me a few days in advance and went over options. We found our window and went after it. When we got to our spot it was on. Mahi Mahi biting left and right. My son and I had a blast and we will be back. After a few other disappointing charters the last couple of years Captain James made up for it. He’s honest, he communicates and he catches fish!!

Captain James and his wife were amazing! My boyfriend and I treated my boyfriend’s dad to a fishing trip for his birthday. It was my and my boyfriend’s first time fishing in the ocean. Captain James was incredible. We caught quite a bit of fish. The captain is really great at what he does and is very knowledgeable about fishing. We fished at lots of different spots. It was a great atmosphere and an all around fantastic time. They cleaned the fish we were able to keep, as well! We were already... More
