Thoroughly enjoyable fishing experience!

Night Fishing3 adults

Captain Cole put us on the fish immediately. His knowledge of where to fish and what rigs and bait to use were outstanding. He was polite and personable, and bent over backwards to ensure we spent plenty of time fishing while also enjoying his company and the beautiful scenery. His boat was clean and comfortable (for three adults, but easily could have accomodated four). He did a great job filleting our fish afterwards too! We'll definitley be looking up Captain Cole again!

    Great boys trip charter

    Half Day Trip – Inshore • 4 adults

    Me and 3 of the bros went out with Captain Cole on a half day, morning trip. We caught fish within minutes of arriving to our first stop. Captain Cole was professional and the boat was super accommodating for the 4 of us including room for 2 coolers of our own without it feeling cramped. The fishing gear was top notch and you could tell he takes care of his boat and gear since there were no issues or malfunctions of any sort. We got on the water, caught fish for 4 hours and had some brews with the boys. Couldnt have asked for a better time. Highly reccomend!

    Super cool dude 🙌🏾HE HAD HIS DAD AS FIRST MATE FOR OUR TRIP

    Half Day Trip – Inshore • 6 adults

    what an amazing experience! first time ever Capt. Cole and his dad did a charter together and it was for our trip!!! My fiancé and I took four friends down to our favorite getaway spot in Southwest Florida, Lido key! We had six people altogether and three first timers. Our friend who had never been fishing before pulled in more than 20 fish by herself. Coal has great energy and is very relatable and personable. His dad was also fantastic. A great guy. 10 out of 10 would recommend cold we thought the boat was going to be a little small but it ended up working out perfectly with all six of us actively fishing. Bring two coolers so you don’t have to worry about storage. I can’t wait to get back down before the summer is over and go out with Cole again!

    BOOK IT NOW!

    Half Day Trip – Inshore • 3 adults • 1 child

    We came all the way from Pennsylvania for a family vacation and had an absolute BLAST! Cole was extremely kind, knowledgeable, and helpful beyond words. He not only baited our hooks countless times but when my son asked to bait it himself Cole took the time to explain how to do it then let my son do it all by himself! He took us multiple places and kept us on fish as much as he could! He took what we wanted into consideration and specifically what my son asked for. One other charter passed us and told us they had caught nothing while we had caught around 20-25 (mind you we missed 50 other fish😂) The experience is in the small details and Cole nails every single one of them!

    patient captain

    Kids Fishing and Fun • 4 adults • 3 children

    i had to change the date of my trip with Cole Parsons because the boat needed repair. Capt. Cole was communicative throughout the process. the children who were on the Kids Trip enjoyed the ride and the captain was patient with them. they caught fish and we are taking one snapper they caught home for dinner!
