Josh and Dylan were a riot and made it fun for both the first-timers and the experienced fisherman in our group of 5. I would highly recommend and couldn't say better things about either of the guys.

Great captain and great boat. They put us on the fish, got us our limit, and we enjoyed the day even with big waves. Josh was easy to get a hold of and work with on timing. We will be back next year, if not sooner.
