Horrendous

6 Hour Trip – Bottom Fishing3 adults

The ONLY good thing about this trip was our deckhand, Ian. The fumes coming off of this boat are toxic. Made me and my husband sick. Super sick. My husband was getting sick in the bathroom but the toilet wouldn't flush. Which made him sicker. Then the AC in the cabin wouldn't work. It was 90 degrees in the cabin and my husband is getting sick in a trash can.... sweating to death... we couldn't leave the cabin door closed because apparently if the AC isn't working then there is carbon monoxide seeping through the floor. The whole trip was a **hidden content**. Please book with another charter.

Response from Captain

Well you where asked to get sick out side not in out rest room and yes a/c had a problem it got burn up from the morning trip from all the sea grass I tried to repair it before the trip I worked for a few minutes and went out as far as your smell it’s a Diesel boat and no the didn’t come from the floor the came from the door being open and the direction we went the wind was blowing it in the cabin nothing came threw the floor as and if you had not left your cooler on the dock you would if had your supplies witch we provide you with since you had none have no control over the fish bite bug when only one person fishes Linda hard to catch anything

    5 Hour - Afternoon Bottom Fishing

    5 Hour Trip – Bottom Fishing • 5 adults

    Are you searching for a family-friendly fishing charter for 6 or less at a great price? Look no further than the 40-foot Sweet William III!! Captain Bill and Ian were absolutely wonderful! From my initial request to book until we walked off the dock to our truck, we had a flawless experience! They took care of everything, we just had to bring ourselves and a cooler with drinks and snacks. Captain Bill was great at communicating with me and responding immediately to my questions regarding booking. Once we arrived at the boat, the Captain's First Mate, Ian, took it to another level of customer service with his outgoing personality, hospitality and relentless pursuit of landing all 5 of us some great fish. The moment our lines hit the water, we were reeling in the fish and Ian was quick at the draw on making sure we always had fresh minnows. If the fish stopped biting, Captain Bill had us in the next hot spot within minutes while we got to cool off inside the air-conditioned cabin or needed a restroom break.  The Captain and Ian worked seamlessly together and even had a 6th reel in the water so we could also land two beautiful Mahi Mahi. To cap off the evening, just as soon as we got off the boat, every catch we were able to keep was hung up and displayed for the perfect photo opp. We walked off the dock with fillet fish packed in our cooler, smiles on our faces and a memorable experience our family will talk about for years. So thanks again Captain Bill and Ian, we are already looking forward to fishing with you again next year! ~ Sandra W.

    6hr afternoon snapper fishing trip

    6 Hour Snapper Trip (PM) • 6 adults

    We booked an afternoon trip for 2 dads and 4 boys to fish for snapper. It was late in the season and as we walked around the docks we could see the morning trips didn’t catch many fish. Capt Bill took us out further and stayed out about an 1 longer then our planned time to try to get us on fish. We caught some good fish and the boys had a great time. Our first mate Tyler worked really hard keeping up with helping get fish into the boat and keeping bait on our lines. He was also great with the boys. Thanks for a wonderful experience.

    6 Hour trip in the afternoon/evening

    6 Hour Trip – Bottom Fishing • 4 adults

    They had us on fish the entire time and we caught our limit early on of Red Snapper. It was a great trip and good experience with Zach helping us catch early and often! Had to take a partner boat due to some mechanical issues but was no issue. Would recommend for sure.
