We will book with Captain Zach any day of the week! He went above and beyond. Hooked up on a big tarpon, Spanish mackerel, and trout. He made our trip. Best guide we have ever had, and even a better guy. We will be booking with him for many years ...Read More to come!

Captain was extremely knowledgeable and had us on the fish right away. There were four of us and we kept him busy with taking our fish off and baiting our lines. He was so patient and personable. We will definitely book with him again.

What a great day on Zach’s charter!! He put us on fish right away and he was very helpful with keeping our lines straight and baited. Will definitely be considering another trip soon.
