Morning Half Day with Captain Ben

4 Hour (PM)4 adults1 child

Captain Ben took my Father in Law, 6 yr. old son and me out for the morning and we had a ton of fun. We had had to cancel our planned afternoon. Trip with him the day before and was really cool about rescheduling so we could get the fishing in before we had to leave town. We did 4 types of fishing in 4 hours. He did great at changing up what we were doing to keep my son interested and engaged. He was super knowledgeable and experienced and made sure we were comfortable and having fun the whole morning. He put us right on spots to keep the action going and we caught a big variety of fish. My son’s already talking about the next trip we take with Captain Ben.

    Excellent

    12 Hour Bottom Trip • 4 adults

    Our target species was Grouper! Captain Ben and his First mate Brody were very informative and helpful. I've fished all my life and caught some really big fish yet this is really a whole new level. My boys and I just had a blast and it took a while to sink in but we learned technique from both of them.We caught some really good size grouper, sea bass and other species of keepers. We also caught many fish we weren't allowed to keep due to regulations. I caught a couple giant red snapper. due to what I feel is flawed Federal Regulation, I was not allowed to keep them. they put up a good fight and were fun to catch. All in all this was an amazing fishing trip of learning, catching and having a blast. totally recommend the 12-hour trip

    I said 5 star, 3 teenage kids rated it as “lit”

    4 Hour Trip (PM) • 4 adults

    We had an outstanding half day of fishing with Captain Ben, easily a 5-star trip from start to finish. He was great with my three teenage kids who don’t have a ton of fishing experience. He took the time to show them the ropes, explain things when needed and laughed along with us the whole trip. There was no time wasted on the dock. As soon as he was back in, we hopped aboard and took off. Started the day trolling, but no luck. Captain Ben quickly changed things up and had us on some great bottom fishing, which really got the kids excited and into the action. Later we went back to trolling and pulled in quite a few bonitas before the day ended. Back on the dock he cleaned/fileted/bagged our catch for us. You can tell Captain Ben really enjoys his job. I highly recommend and the best compliment I can give is; on the 30 minute drive to the dock, the kids were mostly playing Clash Royale on their phones. On the 30 minute drive home, they were trying to plan the next fishing trip. btw….extremely nice boat. I was a little jealous.

    Great day on the water

    4 Hour Trip (AM) • 2 adults

    Capt Ben was a great fella and my son and I enjoyed the time on the boat with him. He worked hard to get us on some fish. Getting them in the boat was our challenge. It was a lot of fun watching the barracuda attack those Spanish. If only we could have landed more than we did but thats fishing. Thanks for the memories Capt Ben. We will be back
