9 ft shark🦈!!!

6 Hour Trip (AM)2 adults1 child

We had an amazing trip from start to finish! It all began with great communication from Captain Josh before we even arrived. He did an excellent job setting expectations, which made us feel prepared and excited. This trip was for me and my 10½-year-old son, and neither of us had much fishing experience. On the ride out, Captain Josh pointed out all kinds of interesting sights, including a huge manatee, mangrove trees where the monkeys hang out, and other local wildlife. It made the trip enjoyable before we even started fishing. As soon as we cleared the harbor and reached open water, First Mate Nick got the lines in. We had action almost immediately, with two quick strikes—including an incredible 47-inch barracuda! Throughout the day we caught four great-sized kingfish, several bonito, and a few smaller fish that were released. The highlight of the trip was when the shark line took off. It was an unforgettable battle, and thanks to the hard work and guidance of Captain Josh and Nick, we landed an incredible 9-foot shark! It was easily the experience of a lifetime for both of us. Afterward, they cleaned and filleted all of our keeper fish and even recommended a fantastic local raw bar that cooked our catch to perfection. Throughout the entire trip they were friendly, patient, knowledgeable, and happy to answer every question we had. If you’re looking for a fun, professional charter…whether you’re an experienced angler or a complete beginner…I can’t recommend Captain Josh and Nick highly enough. They gave my son and me memories we’ll never forget.

    Outstanding experience

    6 Hour Trip (PM)5 adults1 child

    We had an incredible time fishing. Captain Joshua was great, made us feel welcome and got us right out on the water to catch some monsters. We got a massive sail fish on early and they were very helpful guiding me through getting it into the boat. We also brought my 2 year old daughter and they were great with her. The boat size and AC in the cabin helped a lot making the family more comfortable. An awesome experience I highly recommend for anyone to try!
