  The trip started slow but capt hoyt knew all the spots. left the slow spot and hit fish immediately. filled the cooler full of snapper, a couple grunts and some speckled. then we shot over to the grouper spot. caught my first goliath after a hefty fight. caught a ton more snapper and red grouper. then my wife had a huge goliath on she fought for 30 mins on light tackle. awesome trip. cool captain. now we are eating our fresh catch at tonio’s which was awesome

  An Unforgettable and Personalized Family Fishing Trip!

  4 Hour Trip on August 16, 2026 • 4 adults • 1 child

  We had an amazing charter fishing trip with Captain Hoyt! We caught lots of mangrove snapper, and one of our kids even caught a shark! We also saw dolphins and turtles, which made the day even more memorable. After we caught all our fish, Captain Hoyt took us to an island where we could swim and relax. He was patient, attentive, and happy to tailor the day to whatever our family preferred. It was a very personalized experience and absolutely worth it. By far, this was one of the best fishing experiences we’ve ever had. We highly recommend Captain Hoyt and can’t wait to go again!

  Awesome trip for kids and adults with lots of fish!

  4 Hour Trip on July 25, 2026 • 4 adults • 3 children

  This was a great experience for our family. Captain Hoyt was amazing with the kids...super patient and attentive (kids aged 13, 13 and 11). I don't know how many lines he happily baited for us today. We caught enough mangrove snapper for a delicious dinner for 5 (dad stayed back but loved the dinner) as well as a big barracuda, lizard fish (a first for us) as well as other species. He also stopped to show us a wreck on the way back. And we saw some turtles! On the way back to homebase, one of my twins said he knew it was going to be fun, but today's charter was way more fun than he ever expected. We are already planning our next trip back down so we can go back out with Captain Hoyt.

  Great time !!

  4 Hour Trip on June 5, 2026 • 2 adults

  Captain Hoyt was incredible. He was very knowledgeable about the wildlife we encountered, The fish I caught and he was just a super nice guy. If I lived down there, he and I would probably be friends. My wife and I felt like we knew him forever. The weather was overcast and we ran into a rain storm on the way back and got soaked - we laughed the whole way back. In all fairness it rained all week and the sun didn’t come out until we left on Saturday. Captain Hoyt, made the trip even when it rained. What a great time we had. I will request him again and tell all my friends if they go down that way, ask for Captain Hoyt ….

  Best 18th Birthday Ever!

  4 Hour Trip on June 6, 2026 • 3 adults

  Excellent experience from start to finish. The guide was knowledgeable, professional, and made sure we were comfortable and prepared. The boat was clean,well-maintained, and well equipped. We were able to catch multiple fish. Overall, the 4-hour trip was well worth it and exceeded our expectations. I would highly recommend this fishing guide to anyone looking for a great day on the water, whether you're new to fishing or a seasoned angler. I look forward to booking another trip in the future.
