We had a fantastic time on our 4 hr fishing trip. Captain Rich and his son Scott were very responsive and had us laughing and catching fish. We will definitely be back and will do a longer trip soon.

    Anniversary Fishing

    4 Hour Nearshore family trip (pm) • 2 adults

    Wife and I booked with Capt Rich for a 4 hr trip while in the area for our anniversary. She’s never been on a boat on the ocean and her fishing entails catching a bluegill in a pond back home. Capt Rich was great. Bit windy but he was able to find good spots that didnt put us in rough waters while still giving us good fishing. Caught several fish, including a flounder that made for a good supper, and my wife pulled in a very nice grouper. First real fish she’s caught and she did awesome reeling it in (with a little coaching - thats Capt Rich). Great trip. I highly recommend fishing with Capt Rich.

    Response from Captain

    thank you for coming out and happy anniversary! was great getting to know you both

    Great family outing

    4 Hour Nearshore family trip (am) • 4 adults

    Captain Rich and his First Mate for our trip, Scott, provided a great experience for our family. The communication prior to the trip was excellent. The boat worked very well and met the needs of our family of four. We caught a lot of fish on our 4 hour near shore excursion. And, most importantly, Rich and Scott were great people and very welcoming. We will book with them again.

    Response from Captain

    Best charter in the area - hands down!!

    6 Hour Nearshore (am) • 6 adults

    We are locals and wanted to splurge and have a nice day on the water. Scottys Charter knocked it out of the park! Captain Rich and First Mate Scotty were so great, hilarious, knowledgeable and put us on a variety of fish!! two highlights were stud hog fish and the rare Mahi Mahi in the gulf. We will definitely be booking with them again! and we have done many charters - hands down the best!

    Response from Captain

    Thank for booking our new 6hr offshore trip option. it definitely paid off for you guys. looking forward to having you out again.

    Still talking about it👏👏

    10hr Red Snapper/Grouper • 4 adults • 2 children

    Father’s Day gift for my husband, son and grandsons. They all raved about it! All experienced Atlantic offshore fishermen, they had never fished the gulf offshore. They caught lots of fish 😋 and had a wonderful day. Rich and Scotty were great. Patient and kind with the two nine year olds, who are ready to do it again next year! Thanks guys!!

    We had a fantastic time

    4 Hour Nearshore family trip (am) • 5 adults

    We had a fantastic time. The captain and mate was very knowledgeable, friendly. we had a fun time catching fish and will definitely go back on their boat again. I feel that this boat would be good for everybody kids adults. If you want to bring your own baits like shrimp, you need to buy that prior to going on the trip

    Response from Captain

    thanks for coming out with us. Your crew was a great group of folks to have out. On your next trip just let us know if you guys desire a particular bait and we will gladly provide it. today we went with the squid and live pilchards, but would have gladly substituted with live shrimp for you all.
