Max and Ralph provided the perfect charter experience! They arrived exactly on time, and had everything ready to go from the moment we left the dock. They were extremely patient as we learned the differences between saltwater and freshwater fishing, and they made sure to explain everything we needed to know. We were getting bites for our entire 2 hours on the water as they made sure to move us to new spots when the bites stopped coming. Max and Ralph listened to what we wanted to catch and made sure we caught everything on our list before the end of the trip! They even helped get all our catches off the hooks and showed us how to take the best looking photos! Overall, an awesome experience that I would recommend to anyone looking for a quick trip filled with catches!

My husband and I came to Tampa for a long weekend and decided to book a short fishing charter.  Captain Max and his First Mate were great from the moment we got on the boat.  They gave us some history/info about some of the locations as we moved, and we were catching fish as soon as the cast hit the water.  They kept our lines baited and removed fish, so we spent all our time doing the actual fun part - catching fish.  We also had a couple of manatees swim right up to the boat as well as some dolphins.  We caught all kinds of different fish, and Captain Max fileted them for us when we got back to the dock.  If we’re in Tampa again, we will definitely book this again.  It was one of the best parts of our trip.

Captain Max and crew was awesome! We booked on a very short notice but he responded quickly and worked with us around the weather to get us out there fishing. We caught quite a few fish and even 3 sharks. They never gave up and def were in it to make sure we didn’t leave without doing so.

Excellent experience for us today with Capt Max and first mate Ralph!  The kids aged 14, 10, and 4 all enjoyed catching many different species along our journey.  After conclusion of the trip, Max dropped us at the boat dock and filleted our fish for us to take home!  Awesome experience and highly recommend!

We had a great time on our shorty fishing trip—fun, relaxing, and perfect for the whole family. It was a Father’s Day gift, and the kids had a blast, especially when we started catching fish. Captain Max & Mr Ralph were wonderful with them, making it a memorable outing we’d gladly do again!
