6hr Off Shore with Captain Dan

Half Day Trip – Inshore (AM)2 adults

Where do I begin? Originally our trip was planned for a 4hr inshore trip on a Monday but unfortunately had to be pushed back to Friday because of weather. Captain Dan was great at communicating with us in order to have a great fun and safe trip! The day before the trip Captain Dan reached out to us letting us know that the experience he had that day off shore fishing was great and the weather conditions for Friday would be even better. He offered for us to change our trip from a 4hr inshore to the 6hr off shore. He explained to us that he didn’t want us to feel pressured to change since it does cost a little extra money but he wanted us to know that it was an option. After talking with my husband we agreed that why not, it’s our first anniversary trip, go big or go home! I’m so glad we took Captain Dan on his offer because we had a great time and caught some great fish! When we got back to the dock Captain Dan filleted our fish and recommend a place to go to have it cooked. I would recommend Captain Dan to anyone! He is knowledgeable, looks out for his customers and is all around a great person.

    Reel Memories with Captain Dan

    3/4 Day Trip – Offshore • 4 adults • 1 child

    Our private fishing charter with Captain Dan was an outstanding experience from start to finish! He was incredibly accommodating and made sure everyone in our group was comfortable and having a great time throughout the trip. What really made the day special was the variety of fishing we got to experience. We weren't limited to just one style. He mixed things up and caught a great variety of fish, which kept the action exciting all day long. Captain Dan knew exactly where to go and was always willing to adjust the plan to give us the best possible experience.

    absolutely worth it!!!!!!!

    3/4 Day Trip – Inshore • 3 adults • 1 child

    Dan was awesome!! when did the half day trip for my sons 11th birthday and it was worth every penny, we fished three different spots and caught fish at all three locations , even had the chance to fight a shark a couple times “which was a first for my son and I.Dan was extremely knowledgeable about the fish and area. and whever you turned arround to grab a new bait he was already there with a bait in hand and would throw it on the hook and you would be back fishing instantly!!. Dan went above and beyond the whole trip making the experience even better,”” he even flayed and bagged the fish”. I highly recommend Dan, Thanks againg for am amazing trip!!!! We wil be back soon

    Captain Dan put us on fish right away. His boat is amazing and we couldn't have asked for a better day on the water. I would highly recommend Holy Smokes to anyone looking for a great fishing experience!

    Awesome!

    Full Day Trip – Offshore • 2 adults • 1 child

    Danny was awesome, he called the day before to ask suggestions or see what we had in mind and gave us directions to meeting point. He asked us to get there a little early to head out and allow us more time to fish which is always a bonus! So my son and I got there early headed out and hooked some fish! Highly recommend to anyone it was well worth the trip.
