Captain Scott is absolutely Bbbaadd to the bone, in a great way. He was very attentive, super clean boat, very helpful on how to real in Amber Jack's, which helped a lot because that fish will fight you every second. He took outstanding videos and pictures. He took me to great spots to catch mahi mahi and amber Jack's. I couldn't have asked for a better trip or captain. The mahi mahi fish tacos are absolutely fire as well.

Joe was extremely knowledgeable about spots to hit. Even when other captains weren’t catching anything, he found a way to get us to spots where we, not only caught 3 large redfish, but quite a bit of other fish. The tour was extremely enjoyable and a lot of fun. I would highly recommend Joe. A Great a time!!

Captain Ron was very pleasant and worked hard to put us on fish. Unfortunately, the fish were hard to come by today. Tough weather conditions made for a challenging day. I would like to go out with him again.
