a perfect birthday fishing trip

10-Hour Offshore4 adults2 children

We had an excellent 10-hour charter with Chris. He was relaxed, patient, and great with our 10- and 12-year-old kids. What stood out most was how much effort he put into making my 10-year-old feel special on his birthday. We caught fish, felt safe the entire trip, and had a fantastic time on the water. I highly recommend Chris and will definitely book with him again.

    9th ending win

    10-Hour Offshore • 3 adults

    I just got back from an excellent fishing charter with Captain Chris, and I’m giving him a full 5 stars! Even though the weather was a little rough and the fish were slow to start, Captain Chris stayed patient, positive, and incredibly skilled the entire time. He made smart adjustments to our drift and locations, and by the end of the day we had a fantastic bite and put a bunch of solid fish in the fishbox. Chris is a pro who clearly knows his waters inside and out. He kept the boat safe and comfortable despite the conditions, gave great advice on technique, and made sure everyone had an enjoyable experience. The gear was top-notch, the boat was clean and well-equipped, and his upbeat attitude kept the energy high even when things were slow at first. If you’re thinking about booking a charter, don’t hesitate to go with Captain Chris. He turned what could have been a tough day into a really successful and fun trip. I’ll definitely be fishing with him again next time I’m in town. Highly recommended! 🎣

    Great Day

    10-Hour Offshore • 2 adults

    Had a great day out with Capt. Chris. He was very knowledgeable and had really nice equipment. I booked this trip hoping to troll for dolphin, but we weren’t able to do that due to sea conditions and water temperature. Chris had backup plans and executed them very well, ensuring we still took home plenty of fish. We were still able to scratch out a limit of beeliners and nearly a limit of sea bass. I’ve been on many charter trips over the years, and there are captains I would not book again, and then there are some really good ones that I absolutely would. Capt. Chris is definitely one I’ll be going with again in the future. This guy knows his stuff!

    We will be back!

    6 Hour Trip – Offshore • 2 adults

    Captain Chris was great from start to finish. He knew exactly where to go to catch bait and then head out to catch some big ones. We caught a couple king mackerel as soon as the bait hit the water. We had a few more on, but were robbed by sharks. Had fun reeling in a bonito towards the end of our day. Captain Chris made sure we had fish cut and ready to cook - recipes included. We’ll definitely be back in a few months- hoping to reel in some mahi-mahi.

    Worth Every Penny!

    4 Hour Trip – Inshore • 2 adults

    Captiam Chris was kind, courteous, and peofessional. He helped me and my girlfriend have the best experience possible by showing us how to be successful, even at a beginner level. we caught several Redrum fish between 21” and 26” long and also caught several other kinds of smaller fish. Captain Chris cleaned and cut our fish for us at the end and we took it to thr Palm Reataurant down the street and they cooked it for us for lunch! I highly recommend this charter to anyone who wants to have a good time catching some quality fish!
