Our target species was Grouper! Captain Ben and his First mate Brody were very informative and helpful. I’ve fished all my life and caught some really big fish yet this is really a whole new level. My boys and I just had a blast and it took a while to sink in but we learned technique from both of them.We caught some really good size grouper, sea bass and other species of keepers. We also caught many fish we weren’t allowed to keep due to regulations. I caught a couple giant red snapper. due to what I feel is flawed Federal Regulation, I was not allowed to keep them. they put up a good fight and were fun to catch. All in all this was an amazing fishing trip of learning, catching and having a blast. totally recommend the 12-hour trip

We had an outstanding half day of fishing with Captain Ben, easily a 5-star trip from start to finish.

He was great with my three teenage kids who don’t have a ton of fishing experience. He took the time to show them the ropes, explain things when needed and laughed along with us the whole trip.

There was no time wasted on the dock.  As soon as he was back in, we hopped aboard and took off.  Started the day trolling, but no luck.  Captain Ben quickly changed things up and had us on some great bottom fishing, which really got the kids excited and into the action. Later we went back to trolling and pulled in quite a few bonitas before the day ended.  Back on the dock he cleaned/fileted/bagged our catch for us.

You can tell Captain Ben really enjoys his job.  I highly recommend and the best compliment I can give is; on the 30 minute drive to the dock, the kids were mostly playing Clash Royale on their phones.  On the 30 minute drive home, they were trying to plan the next fishing trip.

btw….extremely nice boat.  I was a little jealous.

I booked a trip for my son’s 13th birthday. Early March can be challenging, but Ben did not disappoint. He got us on fish fast, and kept us on them. It was exactly the experience I wanted for my so ‘s first charter experience. Will book with Ben again!

My son and I went out for 1/2 day fishing trip with Captain Ben. It was a great time!  Captain Ben knew exactly where to go to catch fish!  Highly recommend booking and will book again in the future.

This was a great trip on a very nice boat where we got to do several different types of fishing, including kite fishing
Great learning experience with a great teacher
