Recent Reviews of Captain Experiences

  • ★★★★★
    We had an outstanding fishing trip with Captain Jack, and caught our target species at the first location of the day. In my experience this is rare. The snook were big, hungry, and plentiful. My son and his friend were astounded by the 30 inch snook's ability to fight. We had a great time, and I highly recommend Jack.

    Captain Kenny was outstanding. He got us reeling in fish right away. We kept him bust baiting hooks and netting big fish until it was time to call it a day. Great day fishing. Highly recommend, thank you very much. Looking forward to another fishing trip with him next year.

    We had so much fun with captain joe on our deep sea fishing trip! We have been on a few different deep sea fishing trips but this was by far the best experience we have had! They took us to a couple different spots that were all very successful and we had a blast catching a 200 lb Goliath grouper. Would definitely go with them again!

    We had a great day fishing offshore with Joseph (Joey) and his first mate Felix. It was a dad and lads trip for me and my two boys Joel 13 and Blake 11. Joel very keen to go, Blake not sure what to expect. They both had the time of their lives. We had a truly memorable day that will last a lifetime. From minute of booking and confirmation the service was 5 stars. The boat was immaculate and comfortable. Joey ensured our welfare was cared for with ice cold waters on board and sun lotion. We came away with catching plenty of fish in good sizes and also have a story of the big one that got away. We will 100% book again and recommend Joseph as your captain. What a great day fishing Wayne, England, Uk

    Captain Rich was by far the best captain we have ever had during our fishing adventures! His boat was very comfortable. He made the effort to go to the fishing spots that would get us the most action. He was fun, funny and very quick to re-bait our hooks as soon as we lost our bait to the "nibblers" out there. My fiance and I cannot wait to go out with him again! Janet
