My husband and brothers did not like the trip. The captain was a **** and treated them like dummies like they didnt know what they were doing and they are all good fishermen. The captain brought beer on the boat with him and he wanted to drink while driving the boat and he had no life jackets on the boat. He got mad when they told the captain that he couldn’t drink. I would not recommend the charter to anyone. My husband and brothers came back very disappointed.

Jerry and Joe were fantastic. We had some rough weather blow in and they were so gracious to run us back to dock and wait out the rain storm. Jerry allowed us to fish our full three hours following the storm without question. The bite was slow but Jerry and Joe remained focused on finding us fish. They were solely focused on ensuring our group enjoyed our time and had a trip to remember. First class crew!

Thank you so much for the kind words, Brandon! We truly appreciate your patience during the weather delay. Safety is always our top priority, and we’re glad Captain Jerry and Joe were able to get you back on the water and make sure you got your full fishing time. Even when the bite is tough, our crew works hard to put our guests on fish and create a memorable experience.

Captain John made for a great time for our family of 5’s (3 teenage boys) fishing experience! We rarely fish but wanted to experience a fish excursion while on vacation. Captain John found a great spot for us to catch fish on our hour adventure. He even extended the time for us a bit as we were flexible with departure time. He handled everything for us (even tangled lines) and had great conversation throughout. We even took him up on his recommendation to take the fish straight over... More

We had a three hour trip and the bite was slow for the first two hours, but our Captain David pulled through our last hour and out us on the fish. Captain David was extremely diligent to make sure we found fish that would bite. Can’t go wrong with Captain David. Thank you again for the extremely hard work and effort that was put into our trip.
