    Troy provided an amazing fishing trip for our crew. He was kept busy re-baiting hooks for a crew of 6, and never showed signs of it being a bother to him. Troy was very concerned that we had a memorable trip and provided several locations for us to try our luck to reel in the big ones! Thanks, Troy!!

    We Loved Captain Shawn! He was patient, helpful and very engaging. If the fish weren’t biting in one spot he’d move to another. We caught a variety of species and was knowledgeable about every one we caught . He realized how excited I was to see the dolphins so he got them to jump in our waves from the boat. Every time we saw them he was sure to try to get them to interact with us. His boat was very nice and clean, you could tell he loved his boat. IT WAS AWESOME! We plan on a second trip with him to do offshore fishing next. We enjoyed his inshore trip and hospitality! HIGHLY RECOMMEND! One more thing… although we didn’t bring our 10 year old son I definitely would not hesitate to take him out on a Captain Shawn’s boat! He’s a family man, I could tell he would do great with younger passengers as well.

    Shannon P. with Shawn S. of Bon Secour, Alabama

  • ★★★★★
    Captain Dylan and Captain John are both top notch. Due to rough water we didn’t catch a ton of fish but they they did get on some and we had a blast. Hope to do it again and I will be calling them when I do. Thank you both for the good time

    We went out with Captain Mike the day before the Fourth Of July 2023. The boat was clean and loaded with all the needed supplies. We had great weather and a fun experience. Captain Mike gave great instructions as my wife and I were fishing with our three boys ages 13, 8, & 5. Shane was a great deckhand, keeping rods baited and our fish iced. I would recommend Captain Mike to anyone looking to go out and have a fun day on the gulf catching snapper, beeliners, and other reef fish.
