    One for the books!

    3/4 Day Trip (PM) • 2 adults

    We did a 6-hour charter with Captain Santiago, and it was truly one of the best experiences we could have asked for. From spotting dolphins, sea turtles, and manatees to catching so many fish we didn’t even know the names of(thankfully Santiago did!), every moment was memorable. The highlight was landing our target species the Goliath grouper, not once but twice, all thanks to Santiago’s expert guidance. His knowledge, patience, and enthusiasm made the entire trip even more enjoyable. We’ll definitely be back for round two. Thanks again for an incredible trip!

    Captain Lucas worked hard to get us fish

    3/4 Day Trip (AM) • 2 adults

    Wehad a great trip. We caught black drum, snook, red gouper, grunts, lane snapper, mangrov snpper, porgie, trigger fish, and spanish mackerel. I'm sure there's a species or two I'm missing. I would go again with them! It was well worth it and so much better than a headbat and no hat much more money.

    Captain Mitch made it a trip that my kids will remember forever

    3/4 Day Trip (AM) • 4 adults • 2 children

    Started the morning off with great communication and easily to access. Went out and Captain Mitch was very easy to get along with, hands on, put the kids (11 and 9 years old) first, and was extremely knowledgeable. The trip was easy to enjoy, caught tons of fish of all sorts of species, and ended up with several keepers. As we waited for him to fillet the fish we noticed other charters that went further out or spent more time out with less fish and statements made about less action on the water. Both my boys can not quit talking about the trip and my wife even became more involved and loved the experience. (She is scared of fish and not excited about being out in a boat in the ocean) my wife and kids are already looking forward to the next trip with Captain Mitch.

    Shark!

    Half Day Trip – NIGHT FISHING • 2 adults

    Santiago is amazing! Very knowledgeable of local waters. Would highly recommend. Patient with kids. He was very diligent to ensure we had a great trip. We caught a small shark as hoped and his equipment is very well kept and maintained. He maintains a positive and uplifting attitude with his clients. He also takes time to explain the process and what fish are feeding on at a particular time/ point of the season. Looking forward to another trip with him at some point in the future. Additionally, he explains local history of Keewaydin Island.

    Amazing charter experience!!

    Half Day Trip (PM) • 2 adults • 1 child

    Capt Santiago was amazing. Asked what we wanted to do, then produced. Already had the live bait so we waisted no time. He was knowledgeable and you could tell he loves to fish. I was with my 10yr old daughter and she also had an amazing time catching her first Goliath Grouper. We will definitely be back on board woth Capt Santi. Tight lines yall!!!
