⭐ Five‑Star Review for an Amazing Day on the Water

Half Day Trip (AM)4 adults

We had an amazing day on the water. Jay, the first mate, and his captain were excellent from start to finish. Their teamwork, knowledge, and upbeat personalities made the entire experience smooth, fun, and memorable. They kept us on the fish all day, and we ended up catching three different species, which made the trip even more exciting. Jay was attentive and encouraging, and the captain knew exactly where to go to keep the action steady. The boat was well‑run, the atmosphere was relaxed, and the crew made sure we had everything we needed for a successful trip. Highly recommend booking with them — you’ll walk away with great memories and a cooler full of stories.

    Amazing crew and experience

    Half Day Trip (AM)4 adults

    The crew was awesome and full of personality. They did a great job getting everyone involved and making sure we were having a good time throughout the trip. We booked a 4-hour trip and went about 5 miles offshore. The water was pretty choppy, so if you’re prone to seasickness, I’d recommend taking something beforehand. We got hooked up pretty quickly on a nice-sized sailfish, which Jay helped us land. That ended up being the only fish we caught, so if you’re looking to increase your chances, it definitely wouldn’t hurt to book a longer trip! Overall, it was a great experience from start to finish, and we’d definitely recommend it!

    Capt Joelle and Jay worked hard

    3/4 Day Trip – Fall Discount5 adults

    Capt Joelle and first mate J worked hard trying to put us in fish. did a 6 hour morning trip on Thaisa. Her glory days are behind her, but she had 3 captains chairs and a big cover in rear. we got 2 good bites early in trip but didnt land anything. after a slow 2 hours looking all over for fish we hooked onto a 60-70 sailfish and after about 20-25 minutes brought this beauty on the boat and released her. all in all a good trip just a slow day all around didnt see much on dock from other boats when we got back. the guys worked hard ans we appreciated it.

    great trip

    Half Day Trip (AM)2 adults

    crew was great. seas were a little rough out there. wife ended up chumming captain actually told us that was a nice day out there. so if your pron to getting uneasy out at seas take some motion sickness. but overall great. first mate worked hard on keeping fresh bait on the hooks. we had to cut the trip a little short but not on the boats accord. overall great.

    FISH ON!

    3/4 Day Trip2 adults1 child

    Its called fishing, not catching as the saying goes, but today we caught 6 Bonita (1 we used for bait) and 2 Mahi. Jared has 15 years of experience and kept 4 to 5 baited lines in the water at all times. All the charters are in contact with each other via radio trying to tract the bait fish and then find the big fish. 3-4 boats could be seen at any times all in our vicinity. Other boats today caught nothing. Expect to reel a 100yds worth of line if you have a fish on as the bait is far from the boat. Dont make the guide reel them in for you, then you are watching, not fishing. Trolling seems to be the choice for all the boats, not bottom fishing. We opted for 6hr tour to better our odds but bite ended by 3rd/4th hr. This boat is old and ugly, but with an experienced crew maybe best to catch fish on the water. I would recommend these guys if you are more into catching fish than a pretty boat.
