My wife, daughter, and I had a great time. Caprain Laci was a blast and very accomodating. She went above and behind in search of fish. We all had a chance to reel in fish. So exciting! She cleaned our fish at the end of the trip and we left with some nice fillets. Would definitely recommend!

Captain Laci took us red snapper fishing and she was AMAZING! Caught our limit, and she knew exactly where to find them. We were constantly reeling in a fish. We even caught a shark. Captain Laci was fun, kind and clearly loves her job! This fishing trip was the highlight of our vacation. We will be a returning customer next year. If you are reading this review, don't second guess it, just book this trip!

Had a great 4 hour trip in Gulf Shores, AL today! The crew was fantastic and took us to some great spots to catch our limit of Red Snapper. Very nice crew, super helpful and the boat was great. Highly recommended!

Got a late start due to weather conditions. Captain Randy and deck hand kept un informed on conditions, made recommendation of Duck Diner for Breakfast while waiting. They worked hard at getting us where there was fish. All 3 grandsons and us never had a an unwanted hook. Informative and patient with everyone. Thank You Captian and Randy and deckhand Lacey for a memorable fishing trip!

Captain Randy and Lacy were beyond amazing. I brought my family out on an 5 hour nearshore charter. Unfortunately, within the first hour we had 2/5 of the family seasick. He offered to bring us back to shore. We took him up on it. I figured that was it for the trip. I was wrong. We were able to make arrangements on the way in and the 2 that were sick were able to get back home and get some rest. We stopped briefly to use the restroom and turned right back out. We headed out further to a different rig where we were immediately into fish. I honestly can not tell you how many fish my 6 and 13 year old kids caught. In addition to a cooler full of fish, we saw a shark, lots of dolphins and a sea turtle. To cap it off, on the way back there was a squall that spawned a water spout. We got lots of pictures and memories from the trip. Captain Randy’s website says he caters to kids and families, this is one of the rare ones that went so much further than what they advertised. If you have young ones, look no further! Conditions were rough, but he worked to put us on fish and made sure that the kids caught fish and had fun. My 6 year old literally fished until her eyes rolled back and she fell asleep. This was our first trip here, but it will not be our last. Thank you so much!

My son and I had a great time out on the water with Captain Randy! My son, who is 7, had never caught a fish all on his own and he ended up catching more than I did that day! Captain Randy stayed right with him helping him get his hook baited and back in the water every cast and then cleaned the fish we kept so we could take them down the...
