Marvin was the perfect captain for our 6- and 9-year-old girls. Very patient and attuned to the kids. Looking forward to our next fishing trip with him!

Caught lots of sea trout. Even caught a sting ray. Captain Marvin worked hard to make sure we had fun. Will book another trip next time we come down.
