56 Year Anniversary Fishing Trip

Half Day Trip (AM)4 adults

We had a fantastic 1/2 day with Captain Martin on his boat. The weather was perfect and he makes every effort to put you on the fish. We had never fished in this part of Florida so the scenery was new and beautiful, the water was crystal clear and we had a lot of action. I am anxious to schedule another trip and reserve a trip with Captain Martin. We highly recommend Captain Martin for anyone looking for a fantastic day on the water.

    Great Trip

    Half Day Trip (AM)4 adults

    I recently had the pleasure of going on a fishing charter with Captain Arnold, and I can’t recommend them enough! From start to finish, the experience was exceptional. The Captain was incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and passionate about fishing. They took the time to explain the best techniques and made sure everyone on board felt comfortable and engaged, whether you were a seasoned angler or a first-timer like me. The boat was top-notch, clean, and well-equipped with everything we needed for a successful day on the water. We were able to catch plenty of fish, and the crew was quick to assist with baiting hooks, casting, and even reeling in some big ones. It was clear they had a deep understanding of the local waters, and they knew exactly where to go to give us the best chance at a great catch. We also got some fantastic photos of the day’s catches! If you’re looking for a memorable fishing experience, this is the charter to book. I’ll definitely be returning for another trip soon!

    Awesome guide!

    Half Day Trip (AM)3 adults

    I had some family come visit from Pennsylvania for a few days, Capt Arnold is very knowledgeable of the area and the waters where we fished. One of the guys in the group had some disabilities and Capt Arnold was there to help John when needed. Thanks for a great time Capt Arnold!

    Fishing on troubled waters

    Full Day Trip4 adults

    It was a tough day to fish with 30+ knot wind gusts but we couldn't postpone the trip, it was the only day we had. Capt. Arnold worked hard to put us on fish yet stay somewhat sheltered from the blast. We caught fish and had a blast. Lots of fun, lots of laughs and lots of sunburn for three generations of my family. Arnold was very personable, friendly and professional. Nice clean boat and good equipment. Glad we went out and would do it again. The sea trout tasted great.

    I enjoyed you folks too!! Let's do it again... Capt Arnold
