Henry is a great captain and very knowledgeable. Easygoing guy who takes his time with you never made to feel pressed for time like some charters. A lot of fun and would do again.

Loved the battle the jacks put up, reminds me of a smallmouth bass in Maine. My son enjoyed catching a variety of fish. We where on fish all day long. Had a great day.

Capt Taylor took us reef fishing for a half day trip and it didn’t disappoint. Caught over a dozen grouper and other reef fish topping the day with a King and Shark. Great trip and next time we are in AMI we will be looking him up again!!

Phenomenal day. We fish often all over the country and this was hands down one of the BEST experiences to date. We will book again. The staff were awesome and it just was picture perfect!
