Great Captain!

4 Hour Trip (PM)3 adults

Captain Mike was a very nice guy! He is a very honest guy as well. He told us upfront that the fishing may not be the greatest because of the weather conditions and it was our choice to go out or get a refund. We chose to go out anyway and we only caught 1 fish but had fun cruising around on a boat and seeing dolphins. We did not regret our decision. I would use him again on our next vacation!

Response from Captain

Thanks for the review Johnathan!! Honesty is always the best policy! (Thanks Mom!!)

    This is the Charter to use!!!! Captain Mike is the best!

    5 Hour Trip (PM) • 3 adults • 1 child

    First Shot Charters is the Best! Captain Mike is a Master of his Craft. Going out for our First time on his 20ft boat was the perfect fit for me and my 2 sons. Captain Mike Skillfully navigated the waters, reading his Lowrance (FishFinder) screens like Neo from the Matrix. He landed us in great spots for an overall amazing fishing experience. He plays great music and answers any questions with an educational stance. We learned a lot and had the best time. First Shot Charters is the Way to go. Thanks Captain Mike!!!

    Great Experience!

    4 Hour Trip (PM) • 2 adults

    We had an amazing time on our fishing charter! There were four of us, and everyone had a great experience from start to finish. The Captain was friendly, helpful, and clearly knew all the best spots—we were reeling in fish all day. We ended up catching a cooler full of fish which was icing on the cake. Everything was well-organized, and the atmosphere was relaxed and fun. Highly recommend this charter to anyone looking for a successful and enjoyable day on the water!
