Captain Harold and his first mate, Derrick, were terrific! Excellent communication before our trip to ensure we were all set, and they were very personable with our group of varied ages - from teenagers to seniors. Perhaps most importantly, they found fish and helped us land more than a dozen keepers - including one point in the trip when we had six fish on at one time! We’d happily book this trip again next time we’re in town!

    Friendly captain. Knowledgeable. We will definitely be using Happy Snapper in the future.

    We were all thoroughly satisfied wih our 4 hour fishing trip. I went with 2 teenagers and 4 adults and we had a blast. Even though we weren't lucky trolling we found some great bottom fishing and came home with enough fish to feed 3 families. The boat is fantastic and has an air conditioned galley to cool off and plenty of room to spread out. He also had water and sodas for us which was much appreciated. When we got back they fileted all of our fish for us and it was some of the best fish we've ever had. Thanks again Captain Harold and Derek for a great day. Can't wait to go out again.

    Amazing 8 hour trip

    Full Day Trip6 adults

    Had a group of 5 including 2 dads and 3 kids (ages 14, 14, and 13). Mix of girls and boys. First time deep sea fishing in Florida. Caught Max number of blackfin tuna within the first few hours of the trip. Did a variety of live and artificial bait. Captain and first mate afe incredibly knowledgeable and skilled, not to mention easy to talk to for an 8 hour adventure. Absolutely recommend and will be contacting Captain John in the future when we are in the area again!

    Best Fishing Trip Ever!!

    Half Day Trip2 adults

    This was my husband and my fourth fishing trip and it was the best yet. We caught so many fish and were even able to bring two blackfin tuna back with us. We caught several species. Captain Harold and his first mate were exceptional. Very knowledgeable and friendly. They even had drinks for us.
