    Booked a trip with Captain Cole and from the start there was good and timely communication. Brought my two younger boys who had a blast! Cole was patient, answered their 100 questions, and took us to nice spots where we pulled out some nice fish and the boys were thrilled! We had a blast!

    I had caught almost all nearshore species of fish, but never a hogfish snapper. For my 79th birthday I really wanted to catch one. Captain Alex guided us to a spot where I caught my first one and then a limit of 5!! Captain Alex gave me a great birthday experience.

    We had a fantastic day of fishing with some business clients. Captain Wade never stopped working—he had us on fish within minutes and was re-baiting hooks in seconds. The boat was comfortable, well-equipped, and spacious enough for all six of us to fish with ease. While it was a “business entertainment” outing, Captain Wade’s laid-back, humorous personality made the trip feel effortless and fun. Plenty of fish, plenty of laughs—thanks, Captain Wade!
