Good communication with the captain, equipment was in great running condition. He was knowledgeable about the area and where the fish usually were. We didn’t catch anything that day but a small fish , no one else was either so he did his best and pulled out all the stops to try to put us in front of some fish in front of us to catch. I had a 11 and 14 yr old with us and he let them catch the bait fish we used for the trip which they both loved as well. We would definitely go again.

Mike worked really hard to get two relative newbies a fish. Alas, nothing was biting on choppy water for any of the charters. He was visibly disappointed for us and apologized, but it wasn’t his fault. We tried several different spots and different baits. Nothing was biting for any boats. Regardless, his boat was great and his personal touch and kindness was appreciated. We’d like to come back and do it again with better results soon!

My wife and I were on our Honeymoon and had never been fishing to any serious degree before so were excited at the opportunity to go sea fishing with Captain Mike! He was kind and sociable, as well as very knowledgable at fishing. He was patient with us and our amateur-ness, and did virtually all the work for us. We didn’t catch as many fish as we were hoping, but we saw and attempted to catch several larger fish including Tripletail, Shark, and Tarpon. In the end, Captain Mike took us to his special spot where we ended up catching the above pictured fish, and he even stayed overtime with us in order to make sure we were content. Definitely a fun experience and one we don’t regret!

Captain Mike!!!  The first part of the review is from the wife of a serious fisherman… I love lake water… but am scared to death of being on the ocean.  I reluctantly went on this in shore charter to make my husband happy…. from the minute we got out of our car and the locals at the Marina asked who we were going out with…. when we told them, Captain Mike.. the response was genuinely positive… everyone knew him and had all great things to say.  We did our research ahead of time and felt confident but this reinforcement helped me feel at ease.  This captain grew up on the water in the Florida keys .. he lives and breathes this life ... I felt safe and that says it all.  I even fished! ... I would trust my grandchildren on his boat with him… Captain Mike is an absolute knowledgeable, trustworthy, kind and is under paid!  He worked so hard for my husband to catch a snook… If I go on another charter in another state… the captain will be held to the utmost highest standard… Captain Mike…. my ONLY ONLY complaint is to ...have Tshirts available. I’d buy one without a doubt! #loveKingpin!!! #lovetheoceannow!!!

Thank you so much for an awesome day of fishing. I will be back on your boat for sure in the future. If that snook was 1 more inch longer it would of been at the nearest restaurant. I wish you and your family the best and keep loving the ocean every day.  Domenick and Tamela

This was an incredible fishing trip! As well as catching a huge 25+ pound Black Drum (and losing some other big ones) Captain Mike also showed us beautiful wildlife like manatees and dolphins, and he stopped so that we could get a good look at the animals— he wasn’t rushing us. Plus, Captain Mike was able to put us on the fish despite the tough fishing that has been going on these past few weeks in mid-eastern Florida. If you’re having any doubt about finding a charter, go with the All Points Guide service with Captain Mike Atwill, as it is the best charter in Florida. My son and I will definitely be coming back and going on a charter with Capt. Atwill again. We’ll be eating well tonight!
