It wasn’t fishing. It was like winning the lottery. Every time a hook went into the water, a fish would come up. This charter was the best I’ve ever taken. The crew was amazing. The captain knew exactly where to fish. These guys spoiled us.

CPT John is a highly experience captain and fisherman who put us right on the tuna and tile fish. We landed 4 nice yellow fin and our limit of blue tile fish. Though he operated a smaller offshore boat, it performed perfectly and safely in 3-4 foot seas 30 miles offshore. He even dressed our fish upon return. I higjly recommend CPT John for any fishing excursion.

I booked this fishing trip for my wife’s birthday. Being workaholics, it’s the first vacation we’ve taken in YEARS. Captain Mike and Cody could not have possibly gave us a better time. Cody is friendly, polite, knowledgeable, and takes the time to explain everything before the boat ever left dock. Mike is also incredible. Mike not only makes sure you’re going to find fish, he wants to make sure you enjoy yourself, and he genuinely cares about your safety. You can tell that these men are genuinely good people. We had a great time and can’t wait to book our next adventure with these guys. If anyone wants a great fishing experience, I would HIGHLY recommend these gentlemen!
