It was a perfect trip out 3 miles to scatter my mom’s ashes. Wes was kind and a great captain. Thank you.

We had a great time with Frank! He was so patient with our sons, helping them with the poles and teaching them about the fish. We will definitely book with him again!

This was one of the best vacation decisions we have ever made, Frank was the best!!!! There were six of us and we caught fish the entire time. Frank gave us all the option of either fishing for blues and other fish OR going for the bigger ones like the Sharks and Sting Rays. He took the time to show us all how to bait and cast which we really appreciated. This was the best way to start off the sun rise, an amazing day that we will never forget, thank you Frank!!!!!!

We booked a trip to scatter ashes and Wes was very helpful. He was very available to field questions ahead of time, and the actual trip was a breeze thanks to his expertise.

Great captain, great crew. We had a special needs child among us and he was well-accommodated. And we caught plenty of fish.

Our trip with Captain Wes was perfect! We highly recommend him for any of your boating needs. Our trip was to scatter my mom’s ashes into the ocean and it could not have been any better. Next time we’ll just hire him for a day time trip or sunset cruise. Thank you so very much for your hospitality and for also allowing our dog Jackson to be your Co-Captain 😊😎

Captain Wes was professional, kind and gracious as he took us to scatter the ashes of our loved one. He gave us notification of the weather conditions, made some suggestions a head of time and was punctual. Thank you for your kindness, Captain Wes!
