Captain said meet at 8 at dock. We got there early. Captain picked us up early but then spent the next hour looking for live shrimp and fuel. Then he tried to have me buy more shrimp and got into a heated argument with shrimp sales lady about not giving him enough. It was a bit cringy. On top of that fish weren’t biting. Not the captains fault on that one but over was unimpressed. …
Grant
Awesome trip!!! Definitely booking again!!!
Jeremy
Our Captain was Mark and the first mate was Rooster. Both of these guys worked hard to put us on this fish and boy did they do it. Lots of Red Snapper, some Kingfish and vermillion snapper. Great day on the water!!!.
Kristian
Rooster and Mark were the best. Knew the spots to hit for wahoo, and carafin, then some red snapper.
Tricia
First off Danny communicated well about where to be and what time the day before our excursion. Once we got started it was clear that he was very knowledgeable and knew where to go to maximize our fishing efforts. Him and his deck hand made sure that our family of 4 always had a baited pole in our hands and were ready to grab any fish that we caught! We would absolutely go fishing with Danny again! …
Frances
The BESTEST -Mark and Rooster could not have been nicer, more accommodating, or worked any harder to be sure that I caught fish! This was a bucket list item for me and I’m thrilled with my experience.
Jay
Very nice 8 hours of fishing. Only caught 3 barracuda but i don't hold the captain responsible for how hungry the fish are. I'm told it was early season. My one complaint is that instead of the fish cleaning being included in the price and service, we had to take it to the fish house on the marina and pay $15 more. …
Robert
We were on the Luxury Offshore - 55' Hatteras out of Port Aransas, TX. Sent multiple emails about fishing for tuna. We were supposed to go out at 6am....the night before, we got a text that we would leave at 6:30am. At 6:30am, the mate was getting the boat ready...captain came out from cabin at 6:45 and invited us to board. Pulled out around 7am. Captain tells us that we're going to fish mainly for wahoo, but might get some blackfin tuna. Both great eating fish. Takes us out about 40 miles, and puts us on a school of Jack Crevalle...we land 3. Fun to catch, but they are junk fish. Rather than move to other fish, he stayed for 2.5 hours in the same area. We caught nothing but Jack Crevalle's and one Barracuda. They tried to tell us that Barracuda are excellent to eat (thats why you see them on every restaurant menu). After 2.5 hours of fishing, they ran out of bait, so then drove to another area to bottom fish for an hour...never got a bite. 8 hour trip over in 7. The mate was an excellent dude, the captain was a dud. Won't be back...don't waste your money on this charter …
Gabriel
We did not have a good experience. The seas were very rough, we got sea sick, completely drenched and my husband fell out of his wheelchair when the boat hit a big wave at about mile 13 or 14. He was stayed seated on the floor of the boat as we attempted to continue out. After about 1.5 hours, we were less than 20 miles out, we decided to ask the captain to turn around. …
Jason
Great trip with James (AKA Grandpa) seas were a little rough but that's too be expected. Had a Member of our group get very ill and not only was James's first thought his safety but we cut our trip short and he even discounted the fees. Very thankful and will use them again. I can't put the review in and not mention Daryl, his mate, as well. To notch crew!! …
Gary
Fishing was slow. But Capt. James worked hard to give us a great fishing trip.
Macrae
Absolute best first time trip! Our captain, and his deckhand were fantastic, and really knew how make a good joke :) all around an enjoyable time.
Colin
The guys were amazing. Very helpful and insightful. They worked hard to make sure that everything was enjoyable and perfect. Great day on the Gulf….great family and friend day.
Chuck
Excellent. 4 great Wahoo and lots of snapper great guys. Loved it.
