    Excellent Trip!

    3hr fishing5 adults3 children

    We had an absolute blast on this trip! We caught five different species of fish, with several of each, which made for an exciting day on the water. The captain was incredibly friendly, personable, and went above and beyond to make sure our kids always had a line in the water with fresh bait. In addition to the great fishing, we were lucky enough to see several manatees and dolphins. One of the highlights was catching three stingrays, which was a really cool experience for everyone. We highly recommend this charter to anyone looking for a fun family fishing trip. Our only suggestion is to bring plenty of water or other drinks—it gets pretty hot out there. Overall, it was an unforgettable experience, and we'd definitely do it again!

    Fun day of fishing!

    4 Hour Fishing Trip5 adults

    Our family had an outstanding day on the water with Capt. Ed. From the moment we arrived, he was professional, knowledgeable, and attentive to everyone's needs. He took the time to recognize each person's experience level and provided helpful instruction that made it easier for all of us to improve our fishing techniques and enjoy a successful day. Capt. Ed's knowledge of the area was great. We were able to catch a variety of fish red drum, trout, catfish, and ladyfish. We were also fortunate enough to see dolphins and manatees, which made the experience even more memorable. He also made sure we got plenty of photos throughout the day, ensuring we had lasting memories of our trip. I truly appreciated his patience, expertise, and commitment to providing an exceptional experience. I would highly recommend Capt. Ed to anyone looking for a fishing charter. Capt. Ed, thanks again for the great day of fishing!

    ED IS AWESOME

    3hr fishing4 adults2 children

    We had a great morning with Capt Ed. We booked the 3 hour and our group managed to catch 10+ fish - catfish and trout. Capt Ed was fun and knowledgeable, excellent with our kids, ensuring bait was fresh and ready. So impressed with how much we did in our 3 hrs, seen dolphins, manatees, birds and even took time to stop at an island for the kids to explore and find sea shells. I highly recommend booking a charter with Captin Ed, super nice guy.
