Overall

The captain was very knowledgeable, he didnt like to bring sharks on the boat but he knew my son and nephew wanted to see one so he helped me to catch one so we could bring it up and get some photos. We did not catch a whole lot or anything very big but nobody did that day. Was not the charters fault. You cant win every trip it is part of fishing. He did keep us out a little longer than we had booked trying to get us hooked onto some big fish. He is also very competitive on prices. If I am back... More

Me and my son took a trip to Jacksonville to drop off a few things and since we was going we was going to make a day out of and do some fishing. I booked with Bill because his prices was cheaper and since I was looking for a half day. The departure hours fit my schedule. once I made reservations I got a message that he would call me at 4. When we got to the boat he went over 3 rules, and rule 1 and 2 was don’t hook the captain. He was exciting to try out the new Garmin fish finder and put us... More

Best offshore charter I’ve had in a long time. Highly recommend. I love the hands on approach of letting people bait their own hooks and get the fish off the hooks for experienced anglers. Definitely puts you in the fish. Capt Bill was just one of the guys on our trip. Highly recommend. Just hope he has availability when I’m ready again. Thanks Capt from the 6 of us.

my wife and I did a six hour trip with Captain Bill and had an amazing time. from catching fish to knowledge of ship handling a 10 out of 10 experience. I would recommend to anyone that’s wanting to catch fish. I want to gain knowledge of seamanship and an easy person to work with.

What a fun and beautiful two days out fishing with Hooker Charters & Guide Service! 🌊☀️ The ocean was calm, the weather was perfect, and Captain Bill worked hard to keep us on the fish the entire trip. Everyone caught fish, which made me happy BUT you know what made me ecstatic? I caught the MOST and the BIGGEST fish! 🤭🎣 💪 The boys were good sports about it. I tried not to rub it in too much. Kaden caught the only trigger fish of the trip, and Jon? Well,... More
