I recommend this crew For your fishing experience and later met the owner Danny at his restaurant, all the guys are telling Danny about their experience on the boat. All excited the food was good at the restaurant Danny’s group at the restaurant was perfect.

Captain Dan and his crew are great. If you choose any other charter to fish with you are missing out. They will work hard to get you on the fish and take care of you. Give them a shot you won’t be disappointed.

Capt Blake and deckhand Bryson were awesome. This is a nice yacht disguised as a fishing boat. Nice accommodations with an excellent A/C even on the bridge. We picked up a load of snapper and a nice wahoo while trolling.

Had a great time on the 8 hour trip. We caught snappers then went hunting for bonus fish. Communication with the business and our captain was great. We showed up later than planned but our captain was flexible. Danny's was a great choice.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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!!
