Great Trip!

Half Day Trip – Inshore1 adult

Great inshore fishing trip in Vero Beach! Perfect trip for a couple of retired guys who just wanted a relaxing day on the water and plenty of action. We caught fish consistently, had a lot of laughs, and never felt rushed. The captain knew exactly where to go and kept us on the fish all day. Easygoing, fun, and a great way to spend a morning in Vero Beach.

    A Perfect Day

    Half Day Trip – Inshore • 4 adults

    The Perfect Day Our trip couldn’t have gone better. The captain was extremely knowledgeable and never wasted time staying in one spot if the fish weren’t biting. Thanks to his experience, we were able to catch a variety of different fish species, which made the trip even more exciting. He made everything easy for us—casting right where he knew the fish would be, and it worked every time. I was with two friends who don’t speak English, and he was incredibly patient and accommodating with them, which we really appreciated. I chose this trip based on the reviews I read beforehand, and I can honestly say they were completely accurate. Highly recommend!

    The fish were biting!

    Half Day Trip – Inshore • 2 adults

    We had an awesome day on the water with Captain Jeff! We caught so many fish, almost everytime we cast a line, and had a great time from start to finish. Jeff was friendly, knowledgeable, and laid-back—the kind of captain who makes the whole trip fun and easy. We’d happily fish with him again and highly recommend him!

    Fantastic family trip

    Half Day Trip – Inshore • 3 adults

    We had three generations of fishermen on the boat and had a great time. As an experienced angler I recommend this trip for everyone even those who have never been fising. Captain Jeff knows his spots and takes care of it all. He'll even bait the hook and cast the line for you. You will have a good time!

    Great Fishing Trip!!!

    Half Day Trip – Inshore • 2 adults

    Let me start off by saying that Captain Jeff is awesome! He knows the area because he was born and raised here which is a plus! He has fished these waters his whole life. What more could you ask for in a guide! He is super freindly and accommodating. For a person that has never fished the species. He taught me the do’s and don’ts and how to land the fish properly! He also had some great recommendations for restaurants that cook your catch so he knows the area well. I highly recommend this charter and Captain Jeff I will definitely be fishing with him again when I visit Vero Beach! And a plus he is a Big Jimmy Buffett fan and plays his music! My only regret…we did a half day instead of a whole day! Thank You Captain Jeff for a great fishing trip!
