Probably would have caught more but had to cut trip short because kid got sick. On way in he took the time to follow a pod of dolphins so my kids could get that experience. Definitely recommend him.

We had an amazing time with Ritchie! We caught our fill of mackerel, Bonita, and then caught an 8 ft hammerhead to end the trip!! We couldn’t have asked for more! Ritchie was fun, great with the kids, and provided memories we will not forget! I cannot recommend him enough!

Out of three trips this vacation, this was by far the best. Captain Richard put us on fish and did everything possible to ensure a positive trip. We limited out on snapper, and then came inshore and loaded up the box on other edible species.

Captain Mike was very knowledgeable and great to talk to. He put my son and I on several species of fish. We also landed a Blacktip shark. It was a great trip and plan to go on another with Mike when we find ourselves back in the area.
