Great fishing trip

6 Hour Trip – Inshore12 adults

We had a group of 13 novice fishermen and they handled everything with ease with us! Caught plenty of fish and had a great time

Response from Captain

Hi Ken, Thank you so much for the great review! We’re thrilled that your group had such a successful trip and that everyone, especially the first-time fishermen, had a great experience aboard the Kraken. It’s always rewarding to see a group come together, catch plenty of fish, and make lasting memories on the water. We appreciate you choosing Kraken Sportfishing! Tight lines, Captain John & the Kraken Sportfishing Crew 🎣🦑🚤

    Kraken Sportfishing stands above the rest.

    6 Hour Trip – Inshore10 adults

    Been fishing private charters for several years, and while they’ve all been great, some stand above the rest — The Kraken is one of them! From the moment our party of 10 stepped on board, we knew it was going to be an experience we wouldn’t forget. Captain John got us on the fluke from the moment we dropped our lines and didn’t let up the entire trip. With 200+ catches and about a third of them keepers, needless to say, the freezer is stocked! Our deck mate (sorry, I can’t remember his name!) was also fantastic. He kept the gear running, hooks baited, fish filleted, and lines in the water the entire trip, working nonstop to make sure everyone in our group was taken care of. Great crew, great fishing, and an all-around awesome experience. Kraken Sportfishing definitely stands above the rest. We’ll absolutely be back!

    Response from Captain

    Thank you so much for the incredible review! We’re thrilled your group had such a great day aboard the Kraken. Captain John and the crew work hard to keep everyone on the fish and make sure the entire group has a memorable experience. Sounds like the fluke definitely cooperated that day! We truly appreciate you choosing Kraken Sportfishing and look forward to having all of you back on board again soon! 🎣⚓️

    Fantastic Boat, Capt and Fishing

    6 Hour Trip – Inshore12 adults

    Went out with Capt John and his mate Anthony for fluke with a group of 10 and they were both excellent. Worked hard to find the fish, created drifts when the tide slowed, and were constantly supportive and engaging with a group with varied experience levels. Great experience all around and would 100% get out with them again. Highly recommend!

    Perfect family outing

    4 Hour Trip – Inshore (PM)10 adults3 children

    Our family of 10 (including 3 children) had a great fluke fishing trip. Perfect size for us including a cabin space for the kids to take a break when needed. Captain and deckhand were both amazing. Helped set up and rebait all lines and filleted our catches to take home. 10/10 would recommend

    lots of fish

    4 Hour Trip – Inshore (AM)14 adults

    A+ experience. Our private charter had 14 people, and everyone caught between 5 and 15 fish on our 4-hour trip. The crew was incredible- they baited hooks, took the fish off for us, and cleaned and prepared everything at the end. We had an amazing time and would definitely go again.

    Response from Captain

    Thank you so much for the awesome review, Thomas! It was a pleasure having your group aboard the Kraken. We’re thrilled everyone got in on the action and had a successful day on the water. Captain John and the crew work hard to make every trip fun, productive, and stress-free, so we’re glad it showed. We truly appreciate your recommendation and look forward to fishing with you all again soon! 🎣

    Best Fishing Experience for the whole family!

    4 Hour Trip – Inshore (PM)15 adults7 children

    Captain John and first mate Kyle were terrific! With 8 adults and 7 under 12 children they paid individual attention to everyone. Due to the Captain's navigation we were able to catch more fish then we could take home. Highly recommend Kracken. We'll be back next year.

    Thank you so much, Ed! We truly appreciate you taking the time to share your experience. It was a pleasure having your entire family aboard! Seeing the kids smiling, everyone catching fish, and making memories together is exactly what it’s all about. Captain John and Kyle work hard to make sure every guest has a great time, and we’re thrilled to hear they made your trip so memorable. Thank you for your recommendation—we can’t wait to welcome you all back next year for another great day on the water! Tight lines! 🎣⚓
