I originally booked for a Tuesday. Captain Joe contacted me Sunday morning to ask if I could do a different day, due to projected weather conditions. He provided me with two alternative dates. I really appreciated his flexibility and how early he reached out!

Once we were on the water, the crew was quick and very professional. Help was always available, sometimes before you could even ask. It made everything very easier and enjoyable.

Overall, this boat’s experience and professionalism made it one of my top trips ever. I would love to go out with them again.

I would like to thank Captain Joe and Branden for showing us a great time yesterday out on the waters. Captain Joe New, right where to take us so that all of us were able to catch fish. Brandon fillet them and took care of us throughout the whole dayhelping take Fish off and offering up some great tips from Captain Joe as well as helping with the catches. I would highly recommend this team to anyone looking for a great time out on the water!)

I have done many fishing charters over the years when visiting St. Pete Beach. This particular trip was one of the best yet! Starting with location, most charters I’ve done, we’ve had to travel to the Pasadena/Gulfport side of Boca Ciega Bay which isn’t that big of deal but the convenience of this boat being right off Gulf Blvd,  in Dolphin Landing, is extremely convenient and you do not need a fishing license! The boat ride to the fishing spot took over an hour so be prepared if you are bringing children. The total travel time was close to three hours for us there and back, but it was an enjoyable ride, we were able to see dolphins! There’s both inside (with AC)  and outside seating as well as a restroom. They do provide cold bottled water, but you could bring your own cooler if you wanted to. In my experience with deep sea fishing they would use live bait fish, but on this trip they used cut up pieces of Squid which is easier in my opinion if you’re planning on going with your family/kids. During the trip we caught 20+ fish which included, Gray Snapper/ Red Snapper and Lizard fish. We were able to keep all the Gray snapper (red snapper was out of season). I probably caught more fish during this trip than I ever have on any of the previous charters I’ve been on. Maybe it was just a lucky day, but the fishing was great. I would highly recommend this for anyone! The experience was easy/low stress making it great for kids and families. The deckhand was able to debone the meat while on our way back to the dock, which I thought was incredible. Then we were able to take the meat to a local restaurant called Red, White and Booze, where they cooked all the fish we caught! (almond crusted & blackened is the way to go). Overall amazing trip!
