Took the wife and all 5 kids on a charter in hopes of catching some fish. We caught plenty. Captain put us on the fish a few times. Captain and first mate were very friendly and the cabin was ice cold when the kids needed to cool off.

Captain Gary and First Mate Landon were amazing. Very clean vessel. Very knowledgeable around the trip, fishing and most importantly catching. Will definitely come back next time we are in the area.

Captain Gary and Deck Hand Josh were the perfect crew. Mother Nature was not on our side for this trip, rough seas. Despite that the Captain did a fantastic job keeping all of us from turning green, was able to track and help us reel in a few, and played great music! They were very entertaining and engaging, which says a lot because we had 3 teenage boys on the trip and it can be hard to keep them engaged. Also got a bonus dolphin show! We will totally book again!
