    Captain Charlie wasn’t nothing short of amazing! First time I took my teenage son with me fishing in salt water and it was one filled with life long memories. Captain Charlie ensure my son and I were at ease, and he made us feel like long time friends. Highly recommend!

    Trip: Nearshore Fishing

  • ★★★★★
    My nephew and I had a perfect Florida morning on the water with Captain Logan. In just four hours, we reeled in six different species, several of which my nephew had never caught before. Captain Logan knew exactly where to go. He was professional, personable, and genuinely took care of us from start to finish. You could tell he loves what he does. If you're on the fence about booking, just do it. This was worth every penny and we'll absolutely be back.

    We went out with captain NIck. We had a great experience. Nick was on time, friendly and courteous. We caught quite a few fish, and he even helped my daughter look for shells in the shallows. We saw dolphins, manatees and even a shark. Lots of fun. Thanks.

    Trip: Placida Inshore Experience

  • ★★★★★
    Joey and Laura were absolutely amazing! The water was a little choppy, but that was completely out of their control. This was our 9-year-old’s first time fishing in the ocean, and Joey went above and beyond to make it a memorable experience. He stayed with our son the entire trip, helping him get set up, hooking the fish for him, and letting him reel them in. The action was nonstop! We stayed on fish all day and caught more than we ever expected. Joey and Laura were knowledgeable, patient, and worked hard to make sure everyone had a great time. They also recommended a local restaurant that cooked our catch, and it was fantastic. We ended up with so much fish that we even shared some with the table next to us! The best part? On the ride back to the resort, our 9-year-old said, “I want to go fishing again tomorrow!” That pretty much says it all. We highly recommend Joey and Laura and would book with them again in a heartbeat.

    We had a fantastic day fishing with Captain Greg. He knew where to find grouper and we were pulling them up left and right. With the help of his deck hand Aiden, they kept our hooks baited and were there to lend a hand, managing all 6 of us. I would definitely recommend Cpt Greg for a great day of fishing. We will be eating grouper for the next few months.

    What a Day!!! Couldn't have imagined a more perfect time than that spent with Captain Adam. From landing 2 whopper sharks, to Grouper, Blue Snapper, Trigger Fish, Lizard Fish, Vermillion and Amber Jack My son and i never went more than 3 or 4 minutes with a fish on! The only time we got to rest was when we were moving to another spot and every time we had a fish on the line on our 1st drop! Awesome service, awesome time, we will 100% book with Adam next time we are down. I can't imagine anyone being able to deliver more. Book now, you won't be disappointed
