Recent Reviews of Captain Experiences

  • ★★★★★
    We had a great time with Captain Phil. He and his mate, Tim, had to change the offshore sighing plan due to weather, but put us on the fish right away back in the mangroves. Had a lot of action every spot we tried. Great for experienced anglers, and inexperienced. Our young sons had a blast and caught some great fish.

    Captain Phil and his first mate Tim were fantastic. I will definitely refer them to others and be back again to go further offshore. We had bad weather but still had a great time.

  • ★★★★★
    Captain Brandon was great! We took this trip with our 2 kids and he was awesome with them as well. He was very knowledgeable about the area and knew where the fish were biting. We all caught at least one fish (Our WI technique was not up to par with these FL fish!) Brandon decided to keep a few smaller ones and use as bait for a shark to see if we could catch one and threw the line out. We all had fun struggling to bring fish in, when the shark line started zipping and he had my husband take the pole! After about 20 min they got it in the boat! My kids were ecstatic! So despite not catching a ton of fish, we caught a shark and that was pretty awesome!! He even took the time at the dock to show the kids the crazy big fish in the marina and how they go nuts for anything in the water. Highly recommend Captain Brandon!
