A day for the record books

4 Hour Trip – Inshore6 adults

I’ve been on a lot of charters in many different areas and this was one of the best. Captain Shane was one of the best I’ve ever been on the water with. Experienced, knowledgeable, patient and accommodating. We had a large party of 6 people with two young kids. Many of them not being experienced anglers. But we had an incredible time. Caught 33 keepers, plus saw some sharks, barracuda, and had dolphin swim right up next to the boat. It was a day our family will never forget, that’s for sure. He even recommended a local restaurant who would cook our fresh catch! If I could give him 10 stars, I would. HIGHLY recommend.

    Amazing Trip

    6 Hour Trip – Inshore • 2 adults

    My boyfriend and I had the best fishing experience ever imaginable! We booked the three quarter Day fishing trip and Captain Shane did everything he could do to make our trip memorable! Shane took us to several fishng spots and each spot that we went to, we caught so many fish. Some fish we threw back, in fact a lot of them we threw back either due to size or desirability. But we each caught our daily limits of trout, and then we caught Ladyfish which we threw back, but they were so much fun to catch. After 15 Ladyfish that I personally caught, I quit counting them and just still was having so much fun. Although, it was past the time when we were supposed to be back at the dock, Shane continued to work at having us catch more and more fish in a final stopping point. That's where we got our daily limit of mango snapper! 10 in all! Shane was so kind to separate our large catch and carefully filet and bag them for us! We were so greatly appreciative of this! The fishing trip was certainly a hit but if it wasn't for Shane, it wouldn't have been nearly as much fun. We laughed and we talked and we had a lot of fun and he made that all so possible! If you're looking for a fabulous day with a fantastic captain who really knows his stuff about fish and the waters of Florida, please please don't hesitate to book your trip with Shane! You definitely will not be disappointed and it will be the fishing trip to be remembered for years and years! Thank you, Shane!!! We will definitely see you next time weare in the area!

    Amazing Family Fishing Adventure with Captain Shane

    4 Hour Trip – Inshore • 4 adults • 2 children

    We had an absolutely amazing time deep-sea fishing with Captain Shane in Gulfport! He was fantastic with the kids and kept them engaged, excited, and having fun throughout the entire four-hour trip. We stopped at three different fishing spots, caught more than 20 fish, and were able to bring 15 home! At the end of the trip, Shane cleaned and filleted all of our fish for us, which was such a great bonus. His recently remodeled boat was beautiful, clean, and very comfortable. This was an unforgettable family experience, and we cannot recommend Captain Shane enough. We will definitely book with him again!

    Great family fun

    4 Hour Trip – Inshore • 6 adults • 3 children

    What an awesome fishing experience! Capt. Shane was great and got us on the fish immediately. We were up in the air on whether to take a 4 or 6hr charter but ended up doing thr 4hr because we had some young anglers with us and were unsure how long they could hang. After our experience with captain Shane, we will be doing the 6hr next time! Shane was great and very informative with the kids and they had a blast! Everyone caught several fish and Shane was very attentive and accommodating. We highly recommend a charter with Captain Shane it is a blast for all ages and his knowledge of the fish and their locations is spot on.

    Excellent Time Fishing

    6 Hour Trip – Inshore • 4 adults • 2 children

    If you’re looking for an unforgettable day on the water, book with Captain Shane at Nautical Souls Sportfishing—you won’t regret it! We had an absolute blast from the minute we left the dock until we got back. Captain Shane is the real deal. He’s knowledgeable, professional, easygoing, and just plain fun to spend the day with. It felt like we were fishing with an old friend. By the end of the trip, we thought so much of him that we actually invited him to come stay with us if he’s ever up our way!
