    we had a BLAST!

    2 Hour Trip – Sunset Shorty4 adults1 child

    Captain Max and Mr Ralph were awesome. we call catfish, we caught an angel fish a Lady fish some trout and my 12-year-old caught a shark! the best part of the trip was when my 12-year-old caught the shark and even Captain Max and Mr Ralph were just as excited as we were. They were friendly and very knowledgeable. They definitely have customers for life!

    Great trip

    2 Hour Trip – Shorty2 adults

    We all enjoyed fishing with Captain Max and his assistant, Ralph. Both were patient and helpful, making the experience easy and fun. My wife, who was fishing for the first time, had the help she needed to fully participate. We got to fish in several different locations and caught a variety of fish. While some had to be thrown back, we came home with enough sea trout for dinner. The boat was very clean. Even the musical selections were great!

    Amazing Trip, Caught lots of fish!!

    2 Hour Trip – Shorty - 10:00 AM4 adults2 children

    Thank you to Capt. Max and our 1st mate. Both gentlemen were incredible hosts and showed us a great time. We caught lots of different fish including a shark. I loved how our captain changes spots quickly if a location slows the biting activity. We were constantly catching fish the entire time and we plan on booking with this captain again. What a fantastic birthday this was for my 7 year old. It made his day!

    Fish and Fun

    2 Hour Trip – Shorty4 adults2 children

    Max and Ralph were great. We brought our 10 and 12 year old out with us. They have fished a lot back home with limited success and very little knowledge. We all learned a little and had a great time. Caught a lot of different fish. Got some fun photos and we’d highly recomend these guys! thanks for the good time!
