Offshore the water clarity has affected the conditions for the last couple weeks, but we're now finally getting the water clear that were used to the wind has kicked up so we're unsure what it'll bring. The Boat will be grounded for offshore for a couple days at least

Frankie was our captain on a beautiful Saturday morning trip. We had great success catching a lot of different fish, saw a turtle and a stingray. Great experience with lots of fun and great job guiding

Liam was a terrific guide. Got me shots at Snook and Redfish. Got some Sea Trout. Expert, fun and a fine teacher. Knowledgeable about local scene as well. I had a great time with Liam and will book him again. Ernie.

While it wasn't my best guided outing, it met all my expectations. Liam, my guide, was prompt, courteous, knowledgeable, and very helpful with me and I definitely recommend him for any future outings. My inexperience with redfish showed as Liam got me into plenty of fish that I missed. I did catch a sea trout as a consolation prize tho! While I had some email issues with my reservation with Captain Experiences, a quick note to their website mail drop took care of it. Their response was quick and effective. Captain Experiences very much made it an easy task to setup this guided trip. Definitely Recommend Liam and Captain Experiences for your next guided trip.

We had a great time on our charter with Captain Frank. He put us on the fish we wanted to catch and made sure we had some fresh fillets to take home.

Kenny was AMAZING! The fish weren’t biting but we had such a great time! Richard was unable to take us out due to a scheduling conflict but Kenny was there to take us out. He took us to several different spots and tried all the tricks but they just weren’t biting. Had the BEST time with him and would definitely book with Kenny again!
