Capt. Rick and Hope were the best we’ve had a chance to fish with! Great boat, everything you need is offered, good fishing, and a lot of fun. We will be fishing with them again soon and I highly recommend if you are traveling with the whole family, friends, or kids. They have it covered.

EXEPTIONAL... HARD WORKING TALENTED CAPTAIN. WE HIGHLY RECOMMEND.. OH BTW... WE CAUGHT SOME BIGGGG FISH!

★★★★★
What an awesome trip! Captain Brad is super knowledgeable and was a great help with not only the typical trivia questions but tips and tricks on techniques and your style of fishing. He was willing to work with me on getting a variety of fish but also taking the time to get a tarpon, which was well worth the wait. He was a great coach during the long battle and would've lost it if it weren't for him. The boat was great and would work well for a smaller group. Overall was a fantastic trip. Ill be sure to book Captain Brad again next time I'm in the area.

We had a great fishing trip in Clearwater Florida. Our captains (Brett and Luke) were very nice and knowledgeable. I would definitely recommend Brett and Luke. They put us on some King Mackerel that fought like crazy. It was a lot of fun. Ask for Captain Brad.

A great trip! We had a great time with Captain Brad! Appreciated the one-on-one assistance with our son and their focus to make sure we were able to pull in a couple of good size fish. We have already shared his name with people we met while in Florida and will definitely try to book another trip the next time we are in the area!

It was great. Got me on some big barracuda which is exactly what I wanted. Mate was also great.

★★★★★
This was our 3rd trip with Chris that week. While all were memorable, this one ranks with a lifetime best. You can't control the fish, and as always, Chris put in maximum effort. However, on this day, the fish cooperated. My son landed a 45 pound Cobia, we had a couple large Mutton Snappers, a pair of King Mackerels, and a bonus Amberjack. Simply amazing day! I can't wait until our next trip! Already making plans...

We just got back prior to me writing this. Captain Chris, hands down is the best guide I have booked with. He is professional, positive, and driven. He worked incredibly hard to put us on fish, and stayed later than he would have been required. He is very knowledgeable. I am thrilled we have two more days booked this week.
