You will definitely catch fish

Half Day Trip – Mix It Up (PM)4 adults

Ricky is very knowledgeable about fishing and very helpful, albeit a bit impatient. But when the slightest thing does not go his way, he gets very upset/angry. He controls it fairly well, but the vibes were very off-putting. E.g., we swam too far from the boat, but were never told how far we could go. Also we preferred the fish just cleaned not hard-core filets, but that too more time and made him more upset. Finally did not appreciate the terse reminder to tip 20% as the crew (which was the owner and Ricky) supposedly lives of the tip. They did have superb bait and ensured we had a great fishing haul. Very knowledgeable. But ultimately the bad attitude left us with a soured experience. Great customer service and attitude should be #2 after ensuring fish are caught. Next time will look for reviews with no red flags.

    Good trip

    Half Day Trip – Mix It Up • 4 adults

    We caught a mess of fish unfortunately only one was legal. The water was too warm. We were told up front that that might be the case. We had a great time anyway and would definitely go again in the future.

    Great Family Day!

    Half Day Trip – Mix It Up (PM) • 5 adults

    Our family had a wonderful time! We did 1/2 fishing and 1/2 snorkeling. Capt. Lori and Capt. Ricky know how to get on some fish! They are both extremely knowledgeable. They took us to an amazing snorkel spot that the kids raved about. This was one of our favorite things we did in the Keys!

    Response from Captain

    Thank you guys. We had a nlast with your family. Looking forward to next time.

    Plenty of space for 4 kids and fish

    Half Day Trip (PM) • 6 adults • 2 children

    Kids and I got to learn the finer techniques of yellowtail snapper fishing. 3 peraon limit and took extra time to clean and package the catch for us. Kids had a great time. Stayed anchored up over a chum slick and kept rotating the kids out as they were catching. Recommend for a kid fishing trip.
