***** Captain Trey was very kind and knowledgeable - he went above and beyond to make sure our boys were able to catch some fish and have a good time - he had all of the equipment and we had a wonderful day on the water.

We had a great time! I didn’t know rays were so resilient that you could get them with an arrow and the would heal within a few days. Our guide Colby was awesome. He found a bunch of rays for us and helped us after each catch. Hew was awesome!

This was the first time son and I have ever fished saltwater. We have only fished freshwater. Capt. Kent and his wife were the best. We already told Capt. Kent everytime we are here we are booking him. Great time!

We had a great experience. This was our first time booking with Captain Steve, but our second time fishing off PCB. Steve exceeded our expectations. He made sure our little guy had a memorable time. He was great with our 5 year old and appreciated his love of fishing. In our 3 hours we saw dolphins, jelly fish, and sea turtles. We also caught bonitas, King mackerel, Spanish mackerel, trigger fish, red grouper, red snapper, ruby lips, and remora. Steve fileted the mackerals for us to bring home. We will make sure to book with him next year. Thank you Captain Steve!

★★★★★
Had an AMAZING time with a very laid back Captain and beyond helpful deck hand. Great time was had by myself, my better half and my teenage daughter. The weather wasn’t ideal but still had a blast. I HIGHLY recommend booking a trip with the “Broken Tip” charter boat. If you’re looking for drama free great time with awesome people this is the charter to book!
