We loved that we only had to travel for 20mins and we were on the fish. Thanks for allowing me to catch my first Kingfish and John Dory, especially on my Birthday. A relaxed and enjoyable fishing trip that was fun and friendly, thanks for a great day out. 😊

Had the best experience with this charter! Ross and Harley were absolutely awesome, easy to find, taught me (who doesn’t go fishing) how to catch and reel in a FAT snapper! Never thought i would like fishing, but after being on that, I would definitely go again. Best weather, best crew, great laughs, Best experience !👌
