Wouldn’t look anywhere else!

Half Day Trip2 adults

Rich was awesome. I told him I was interested in crossing off catching a tarpon from by bucket list and within 15 minutes at our first stop I was able to put two boat side. You can tell Rich cares a lot about putting his clients on fish and making sure they have a great time doing so and is super knowledgable. If I come back this way I will definitely be booking another trip with Rich.

    Rich is awesome!

    Sunset Bonefish and Permit • 2 adults • 1 child

    After several charter issues during my week in the keys i booked Rich for a final evening of trying to scratch off a Tarpon of my bucket list. He did that within a few minutes of leaving the dock BUT that is not why I would recommend him. He is extremely passionate about his fishery, he asked what I wanted out of the trip as well as letting me his expectations, he was great coaching me in the techniques that work in this fishery vs what I know from a lifetime of personal experience. In my opinion he is in the perfect zone of having many years of experience but yet not being burned out from the grind of a charter Captain. If I ever make it back and do a charter Rich will be my first call!
