The crew was great, but the boat was slow. We spent 4 hours getting out and less than 1 hour fishing. We also had to sit on hard benches while traveling out to fishing area.

Sorry you didn’t seem to like the boat. I would like to say thanks for going with us. We have to fish deeper this time of year because of the water temp being so hot. This is one reason why we run a 5 hour trip this time of year. Shorter rides would = no fish. Also we had 2 party’s that held us up that day. 1 was late and kept calling saying he was a few minutes away. ( half hour ) Then one party came with more then they should have. ( they tried to get them on the boat with out a ticket) so that held us up this day. We have seats in the cabin with cushions on them for your comfort. As for the benches out side we would have to replace the cushions every few months with the amount of water, sun, fish slime, bait, drinks, and food that would be on them every trip. Thanks for fishing with us and the reply. I hope I answered some of your thoughts of why the boat is set up this way. We think that we have a good product for 55.00.

Crew was right on time for departure and very knowledgeable! There were at least two other groups that were back for a second or third time, so the crew obviously does a great job! It seemed like most everyone caught something. A few caught 4-5. I caught one. When my friend who was with me wasn’t catching anything on her line, Captain Brandon let her real in a couple that he hooked on his line. Both he and Firstmate Andrew were friendly, extremely attentive to any issue, and quick to help take... More

I had a really fun time on this charter. The fishing was solid. We caught probably 30 grunt, 10 grouper and a mackerel trolling on the way home (total of all people in the boat). I personally only caught one fish which was a grouper but honestly it made the day. I’m sure you see a lot of people complain about not catching a ton of fish but that’s fishing. I’ve gone plenty of times back home and haven’t caught anything. My father in law and I had a good time and met good people. The captain... More

Thank you. i can only park the boat over them. not sure what the problem is the last two weeks on the catching part however as you seen we dont give up that easy. you are correct. most boats would just give up and go home. thats not us. thank you for choosing us.

The crew was amazing and they tried different techniques from deep sea fishing to drifting very knowledgeable with their equipment to locate fish. They make sure that every Group leaves with something.. I went with my nine-year-old son. This was my second time on a charter and by far they exceeded expectations. From the start, they explained everything to everyone they walk around and assist you even make sure that my son left with a catch.. thank you so very much for your expertise and for making... More

Thats great !! We like seeing kids enjoying fishing. From the look in his face you can tell he was happy catching fish. We try our best to make every trip enjoyable! I didnt have the chance to go out that day but I like that from your review they are doing a good job. They also love to fish themselves. Capt Brandon was only 3 months old when he took his first trip out on the Gulf. Before he turned 3 he was swinging the rod like a pro. Its funny at that age he could handle the rod... More

My grand nephew caught two gray snappers that we are planning to cook tonight. I didnt catch anything but had fish steal my bait several times and once got the hook stuck on the bottom ( thought I finally hooked one)!! 🤣 Bonus were several sightings of dolphin swimming and jumping alongside the boat 🐬
