We had an incredible fishing trip today with Elio! He went above and beyond to make sure my boys had an unforgettable time. From spotting dolphins to catching sharks and landing some absolute monsters, every moment was exciting.

One of the highlights was letting my son throw the cast net. He had so much fun bringing in a ton of bait, and Elio made him feel like part of the crew. It was an experience my boys will be talking about for a long time.

Elio truly knows how to make a fishing trip fun for the whole family. We would absolutely book another trip with him and highly recommend him to anyone looking for an amazing day on the water!

The four of us had an excellent fishing trip with Captain Elio this morning. He was very knowledgeable about the local weather and where the fish were to be found, depending on how far out we cared to go. We decided to stay about 2 1/2 miles just outside St Augustine and he knew a good spot there. We had lots of bites but only reeled in two keepers. Still, he tended our gear nonstop, continually rebaiting our hooks and making some minor changes to our tackle. Returning to the dock, he expertly cleaned our fish for us. We would definitely charter with Captain Elio again.

Elio was a great captain, highly recommended from someone who rarely writes reviews! He was prepared, on-time, open to a boat tour when kids were tired of fishing, so overall, great experience.

I'm glad we were able to mix in a little sightseeing when the kids were ready for a change. My goal is to make sure everyone on board, no matter their age or fishing experience, has a fun and memorable day on the water. I really appreciate your recommendation and...
