Nice enough but didn’t feel the Captain was knowledgeable enough. We went to a wreck and pretty much bottom fished the whole time. We caught a bunch of trash fish but few targeted fish. When we boarded his boat he did not ask us what we wanted to fish for.

When we boarded his boat he did not ask us what we wanted to fish for. My original charter for this day was canceled and I attempted to book another Captain but you guys interrupted that and said Captain Pete was your guide. Also, his wife was with him and she was very nice but just sat there for 6 hours and made me feel uncomfortable. They were both extremely nice so I hate to give them a bad review but compared to our charter the day before, it was night and day.I would not recommend them. Captains Experiences is batting 500, not sure I would use you again.

Great charter by a very talented captain. His first mate was great also.
We had a good time talking about various places we had both been while we fished.

Great fun with Captain Pete! He put us on some fish and he and Chissie were a great team that gave us insights into the local waters.

I highly recommend them!

I recently went on the “Best Day Ever” charter with Captain Pete and I’m not usually one to write a negative review, but we were totally let down by this day. He has a lovely boat and a lovely wife and the day started out with great weather and a promising cruise away from the shore. However, 3 hours into our 6 hour charter, none of us (4 people) had even put a hand on a fishing pole at all. We drove and drove to chase birds that would hopefully lead us to the fishing spots, but as the hours wasted away we grew hopeless. Captain Pete, barely spoke to us for the first 5 hours and then as we were heading back to shore he simply said “I guess it’s not happening today folks.” We did catch 3 fish, but that’s not because we were actually fishing. Those three were caught because of the poles he had trailing behind the boat as we searched for a fishing spot literally all day. The best part of the day was watching Pete filleting the fish back at the dock and feeding the nurse sharks in the marina. I really feel like we were robbed of $1,500. We fully expected to at least get to cast some lines and actually try to fish, instead of taking the most expensive boat ride ever. We could have just rented a boat for the day and cruised around for a fraction of the price. I understand that you can’t guarantee to catch fish but there’s a lot that could have been done to compensate to try to make it fun. We chose this charter because he has several techniques listed on his profile and website and he only used 1 out of the 9 listed techniques he only offered us 1. (See image attached for listed techniques). He could have made an effort to teach us something about fishing, let us practice casting the rod, explain the kind of bait we’re supposed to use, talk to us, offer to have us just pay for the gas we used and try again another day, or offer a partial refund, or literally do anything besides leaving us to bake in the sun doing nothing on the back of the boat all day. Very disappointed.

Pete and Kristy were absolutely awesome! We had an excellent time with the Louisiana/Texas combo ;) Captain Pete was patient about explaining the estuary of the Keys and species. We caught 6 different species and 3 sharks! Great time- see ya’ll next year🦈🎣😃

An excellent day on the beautiful keys water. Started with overcast but the sun did come out as well as the fish. All three of us had a wonderful time thanks to Captain Pete and Christy. They were kind, helpful and great fun to be around. We would definitely come back and go with Captain Pete again! Thank you for a wonderful day!

Pete and his wife could not have been any nicer and their boat was perfect. Pete kept us on the water longer than our trip was scheduled for trying to put some fish in the boat (we caught 1 tile fish and 3 vermillion that were just over 12 inches) I know the captain cannot control the bite as I have been on 100’s of charters however we fished with one rod the entire day!...

It was an electric reel since we were fishing in 600 plus feet of water. I spent almost the entire day watching my girlfriend dropping her line down and flipping the switch to bring it back up. That certainly is not what we had in mind when we booked the trip. We should have had two rods to fish with and moved into the reefs for some snapper, yellow tail or something but to deep drop the entire with one rig and zero activity was really disappointing.

Captain Pete and his deck mate Christie had a beautiful boat and despite the hot weather kept us in shade and cool! Fishing was admittedly slow today, but that didn’t keep Captain Pete from putting onto Mahi! Thanks for a great day with my boys that I will always treasure

We had a great day fishing with Capt. Pete and Christy! Our teenager got his first deep sea fishing experience and reeled in a couple huge tilefish, which made for a great dinner that evening and we had plenty more to take home. We would definitely take another trip with Capt. Pete and Christy on our next trip to the area and I'll recommend them to others.

We had a blast! Captain Pete made sure we caught some great reef fish. We caught 2 Spanish mackerel, a yellow trail, a barracuda (large and mean), and a few others. It was so much fun! My 16 year old that loves to fish in Nebraska has the best time!

Pete and his 1st mate, his wife were great. They’re an enjoyable couple. When I booked I understood they had more experience then they actually had. We seemed to wonder a bit till we found the fish.

Captian Pete and Christy were AWESOME. We had a great time as a family and it was definitely one of the best days ever. Everyone tried something new and had fun. I would definitely recommend looking into these guys for a good time out on the water.
