Captain Christian was awesome. We had an absolute blast with him. His knowledge of the area, fishing, history and all things maritime were unreal. Christian is the real deal. A fantastic captain, guide, comedian and terrific guy all round. I’d definitely fish with him again if I’m back in the area.

I took my two Sons, (13 ) and (15) out for some In Shore Fishing and we had a fantastic time. Fishing was good, spots we went to were great. Capt. Mike was very attentive and helpful. We caught a lot of Fish and could not have been more thankful for our Capt. choice. Thanks again MIke!

Trip: Nearshore/Inshore Madness
★★★★★
Taylor was a great captain who was a joy to fish with and put us on the fish. He's an easy going guy who, despite being a younger captain, already has considerable experience in Mosquito Lagoon. He was right on time, the boat was clean and well-organized, and spotted so many fish for us. Taylor is your secret weapon in the Lagoon.

Our group of 5 had a great experience with Scott, also known as “Steve”. It was a beautiful day on the water. Scott was knowledgeable and quickly responded when we needed him… which was often, as we were not experienced! We’ll go out with Scott again!
