  Amazing experience!

  Half Day (AM) Fishing Trip on August 7, 2026 • 5 adults • 2 children

  Captain Novel was so great. He and his boat mate obviously were super experienced and took us to a school of tuna right away. A member of our family got seasick and the captain gave us tips that really worked to make him feel better. Everyone had fun. I would review them higher but if I could.

  Fun and enjoyable fishing trip.

  Half Day (AM) Fishing Trip on July 9, 2026 • 2 adults

  Tried trolling for Mahi Mahi but unfortunately no bites & was told today no boats caught anything. Switched to bottom fishing & caught 15 Red Snapers & 2 Groupers which are great eating. Was told that other boats didn't catch anything, even bottom fishing. I brought my own fishing gear & had years of experience bottom fishing at 180 to 200 ft water, wondered if that made the difference or was it pure luck 😬??

  Thank you, Gavin! We’re glad we could still put you on some great fish despite the slow mahi bite. Whether it was your experience, a little luck, or both, we’re happy you had a successful day. Enjoy the fresh catch, and we hope to fish with you again!

  great captain worked super hard!!!

  Full Day Fishing Trip on August 9, 2026 • 3 adults

  We saw two sailfish and got skunked….that’s fishing sometimes. But Novel gave it all …supposed to leave at six and back at two pm. Novel still had lines in water at 234 pm. rough weather tough fishing. GREAT trip!!!! tighter lines next time.

  Thank you so much, Ted! We truly appreciate your kind words and your understanding that sometimes fishing is unpredictable. Captain Novel always gives it his all, and we’re glad you enjoyed the trip despite the rough conditions. We hope to have you back for those tighter lines next time!

  From snapper to a 500 lb black marlin, our ultimate inshore and offshore fishing adventure

  Full Day Fishing Trip on December 16, 2025 • 4 adults

  This fishing trip was the perfect blend of inshore action and offshore adrenaline, giving us an unforgettable day on the water. We started inshore where the bite was strong and steady, landing a beautiful yellow snapper and a hard-fighting mackerel that kept the energy high right from the start. Then we pushed offshore and the experience shifted into something truly next level, first with a brilliant mahi mahi flashing colors at the boat, and then with the fish of a lifetime, a massive 500 lb black marlin that tested every bit of our strength and teamwork. Great conditions, great guiding, and an incredible mix of species made this trip an absolute five-star experience.

  Wonderful half day trip

  Half Day (AM) Fishing Trip on November 7, 2025 • 2 adults

  Captain and first mate were great! They got us onto tuna right out of the gate. Brought us a bottle of champagne because I had mentioned it was our honeymoon. They had snacks and beer as well.( typically) went bottom fishing and then onto swordfish. They went a bit longer because we got so close to catching a swordfish several times and were very eager to get us one. But that’s fishing… :)) also loved the boat, lots of shade. would go with them again in n a heartbeat. We are eating the tuna as I type this!!
