“Best Charter ever”
It’s not often that I have the pleasure of writing a nice review but this one more than warrants it. For starters I’m 62 years old soon and had not been spearfishing in close to 25 years. I was looking for a charter captain who would take the time to allow me to ease back in without pushing the boundaries. I met up with Captain Chris “Lippy” early morning at his slip. His boat and gear were immaculate to say the least. Chris spent close to an hour going over my wish list and the safety issues related to our dive. On our wish list was Grouper and hog fish. On our first dive we chose a spot on the first reef at about 30-35’ and within my first few drops I had my first 24” Red Grouper for the day. After a few hours it was time to go look for the Hogs. Captain Chris took me to his Hog fish spot and just like the grouper spot, I had my first 18” hog within my first few dives. I have never felt safer before as I did with Captain Chris. He was my dive buddy for the day and every time I turned around he was there covering my back. I watched him dive and and realized how much I did not know. He took the time to teach me throughout the day what I never learned in decades before. Chris is one of those guys who stays down longer than I could ever dream of and seems to transform Into a fish when he hits bottom. I can’t say enough good things about this trip and my great experience with Captain Chris. I am now waiting for the weather to clear and have an offshore fishing trip planned with him. Locals rave about his skills putting fish in the boat with rod and reel. If he’s as good with a rod as he is diving then we’re headed for another epic trip.
Thank you for your kind words Albert. You are welcome aboard anytime. Cheers Capt. Chris
