We booked a nearshore trip with 2 Shea Fishing and came home with great memories, lots of fish, and a newfound appreciation for Dramamine.
From the first message, 2 Shea was fantastic. Communication was quick, helpful, and detailed, which made planning the trip easy and stress-free.
On the water, Captain Andrew and first mate Cole (hope I got that right ?) were the perfect combination of professional, knowledgeable, funny, and patient. We had a group of 3 adults and 3 teens, and they made sure everyone was involved, having fun, and catching fish. Whether it was helping bait hooks, untangling lines, or celebrating a catch, they never seemed rushed or bothered.
The crew did an excellent job balancing safety with a relaxed, fun atmosphere. A few members of our group discovered that their sea legs may have been left on shore, but Andrew and Cole were incredibly attentive—making sure they had water, access to shade, and were doing okay, while still keeping the rest of us fishing and having a great time.
As for the fishing, it exceeded every expectation we had. We caught grouper, red snapper, blowfish, and even a nurse shark.
One thing that really stood out was how much they seemed to care that we had a memorable experience. They even took photos for us throughout the trip so we could stay focused on the fun.
We’ve done plenty of family activities and excursions over the years, and this was easily one of the highlights. If you’re looking for a fishing charter with a great captain, a fantastic mate, plenty of laughs, and a crew that genuinely wants you to succeed, book with 2 Shea Fishing.
We’ll definitely be back. Next time, we’ll just be a little more prepared for the waves than the fish were.

We could not have been more impressed.  Captain Andrew and his nephew Cole were amazing.  We were catching fish like crazy, and they were always there to either re-bate or take fish off the lines.  If we were snagged they quickly took over and handed us another pole ready to go.  If the fish stopped biting, we moved to another spot.  Each spot seemed just as good, if not better than the last.  My husband and I had our three teenage boys (ages 19, 17, and 14) and it is their favorite part of our trip.  We did the 4 hour trip and it was the perfect length of time.  We caught so many fish, at least half way into our trip we were just catching and releasing, We had already caught more than enough for dinner.  Once we returned, they cleaned all the fish, wrapped it up on ice, and recommended several places we could go to have it prepared.  Again, the fish and the food were amazing.  cooked to perfection 🤌, the best fresh fish dinner 😋!  All around, a perfect experience.  It was a beautiful day, out on the ocean, creating memories that will last a lifetime.

Trip to celebrate hubby’s 65th birthday, and 1st deep sea fishing experience! We couldn’t have asked for a happier one! Captain Andrew & 1st mate Cole made the day exceptionally fun & very successful catching a variety of fish (including “almost” a big hammerhead shark!) Andrew perfectly filleted our catch which we took directly to SandShakers, and they made into the most delicious fish tacos for our dinner! We highly recommend 2 Shea for a phenomenal fishing experience!!

We had an absolutely incredible experience with 2 Shea Fishing Charter! From start to finish, everything was top-notch. Capt good was not only knowledgeable and professional but also made the trip fun and relaxed for everyone on board. First mate Cole was awesome! You can tell they truly love what they do and take pride in giving their guests a great day on the water.

The boat was clean, comfortable, and well-equipped, and the fishing was fantastic—we were catching fish and making memories the whole time. Whether you’re an experienced angler or a beginner, they make sure you feel confident and have a great time.

If you’re looking for an unforgettable fishing adventure, I can’t recommend 2 Shea Fishing Charter enough. We’ll definitely be booking again!

We did the 3 hour tour. Andrew & Hank wasted no time taking us exactly where we needed to be to catch a lot of fish - mostly grunts. They gave lots of info about fishing technique & about types of fish. They were very friendly & helpful & flexible with how we spent our time with what we were wanting out of the trip - enough fish for a meal then try for bigger fish with different bait in the short amount of time we had. My family of 5 all had a great time. The beautiful sunset from the boat was an added bonus. They suggested places to go with our catch so we went to Hog Island Fish Camp & they prepared our fish the way we wanted, some fried & some blackened, & it was absolutely delicious.
