    We had Captain Jeremy take us out “near shore” and had an amazing time. It was just two adults and my son who’s 10. He was great with all of us, kept us fishing, enjoyable to talk to, and we caught a variety of fish. We all wanna go again with Jeremy.!

    Had such an amazing time! Kevin knows his fishing holes and how to hook em. Had a great time on the water laughing and reeling them in! Can't wait to go again.

    My son and I booked a trip with Kevin's team through Captain Experiences. Our captain out of Long Beach was Jeremy. He was fun, knowledgeable, and genuinely excited to be on the water. We did a half day trip which was more than great. My 14 year old son had a blast. I would do it all over again without a doubt.

    Harry and crew were so patient with my teenagers. This was our first time out on the sea. The boys had a blast! Harry made sure that everyone caught fish. Thank you again and I would highly recommend.

    Jeremy was our captain for the nearshore fishing trip in Long Beach California. The trip was wonderful and he got us onto fish and even fillet’ed them for us. Everything was provided and their communication was great. I highly recommend a fishing trip with them!

    We had a great experience. Hank and Patrick were very helpful and knowledgeable. There were 3 generations of men on this trip and we all had a blast.

    Our fishing trip was just amazing!!! The entire experience was top notch. Patrick and Hank went above and beyond to make sure myself and my dad had an amazing time and that we hauled in some great fish. They knew all the hot spots and they knew how to get the mon the hooks. I can't say enough good things about Harry, his boat and his team. I would recommend this to everyone and this will be a trip that we will be doing with them often!
