Hi Tonia: Thanks for your generous review. We really enjoyed having your family on board for the day. The Bonita were lots of fun to catch but I would have liked to send you home with a better catch. Next time. Capt. Gary

We had a great time. Weather was bad further out so the Captain made a new plan close to shore. We caught plenty of fish.

Patrick: Thank you for your kind words. Everyone else was cancelling trips that day, but I thought we had a chance at a few inshore fish. For once, I was right! And with my mate Jose laid up, my dear wife Julie did a great job driving the boat. I’m pleased we pulled off a successful trip for your group. I hope you will think of us next time you are in the area. Capt. Gary

I was looking for a small private party fishing trip. I searched around and found Captain Gary and booked my trip. He got in touch with me the same day I booked and kept in contact with me periodically all the way to the time of our trip. He is very informative and cares about who he takes out to sea. Jose, Gary’s First mate was very helpful as well and knowledgeable of how to fish and where the fish were. When we got to our destination we drop our lines in and immediately started catching fish.... More

Ron: It was a pleasure having you and your family on the boat. I am pleased to hear that everyone had a good time and, although the fish weren’t huge, I think they kept everyone busy. Too bad we couldn’t keep those grouper we caught. Maybe next time. Thanks for your business and we hope you’ll come see us again. Capt. Gary

Captain Gary and his 1st Mate Hosea are both experienced captains and anglers. Took us out 15 miles, and found us fish! They knew when to bail on a spot and hit another. The six of us were all successful as we reeled in multiple species of good eating. Boat ride - out and back in were smooth and comfortable on what was a calm beautiful day. Gary’s twin diesels running full stride on the way back in provided for the perfect background for a 1/2 hour snooze if that is something that... More

I never write these so forgive me. My wife and I have 10 year old and 7 year old. We were looking for someone experienced; they had a larger boat with bathroom; and would provide the best possible experience for first-timers deep sea fishing. Capt Gary and Jose knocked it out of the park! Not only did we catch a mess of fish but they taught the children several valuable lessons. We cannot speak highly enough of our experience. Enough to where I actually wrote one of these things…
