Fantastic 4 hour charter, Captain James was a blast and he knew where the fish were! Will book again, thanks for a great time.

Stephen was an excellent guide. He helped my 11 year old son find different places to cast and even walked him into some deeper water to cast, which was exciting! He was prepared and very pleasant.

Best guide ever! Hitting great trout like we wanted all day, then my son landed a prehistoric grouper, reeled that sucker in for a while! Capn Dillon put us right on the beast’s door step, all we had to do was knock on the door, BAM!💥

Dillion was really knowledgeable fishing the area, and some great conversation. We got a bunch of sea trout, sheepshead, and some black snapper. 10/10 recommend taking a trip with him

Had a fantastic morning on the water with Captain Nick! He is a great guide, coach & company on the water. He knows the waters, and the fish and was patient & encouraging when I had a bad cast or failed to set the hook. I did manage to land a nice black drum that is on the menu for my in-laws tonight. I'll be back soon with our three young men!

Punctual with a nice clean boat. Covered a number of different areas focussed on snook or redfish by fly fishing while working around occasional wind and sometimes waiting for the sun to reappear from behind a cloud. Saw a number of skittish fish and put in almost 6 hours of casting both sight and blind, but unfortunately none took the flies. None the less enjoyed the day and got along well with Nick, a very enjoyable guide and captain. Thank you

We had a great trip! The boat was very nice and spacious. Mike was great with the kids and teaching us how to fish. Not all of us were able to hit something, but we still had fun. We saw so much nature including dolphins that swam with us.

James was fantastic. He communicated very good and knew the bay extremely well. He put my son and I on fish at each spot and couldn’t of asked for a better experience in Sarasota Bay!

Was very pleased with the experience. We caught about 40 fish overall and he took us to several spots. Easy to talk with and excellent communication.

We had an amazing time bowfishing with Captain Mike this past weekend. My 10 year old son and I had a blast learning how to fish with a bow, and translating shooting at paper targets into shooting at moving fish. The Bay was alive with marine life and it was really cool to be out there together. There was a small technical issue that came up early in the trip, but Captain Mike used his experience to quickly resolve it and get us back out to where the fish were jumping. We are definitely going to book with him again!

We had an absolutely amazing time with Captain George! We had several other fishermen passing through that were going on about how it was a “tough day” but not with Captain George!! He put us right on the fish! He was always aware of his surroundings, watching the schools of bait fish, and making sure we were in the most optimal spot. He was very knowledgeable about all of the species we caught throughout the day. We were having such a blast that we added an extra hour to onto our trip, which is when he put us on to the BIGGEST Spanish Mackerel I’ve ever seen!! Just to top it off, he was also very kind and caring. He never lost patience with me when he kept having to cast my pole into difficult spots, and he made sure to remind us to drink plenty of water and reapply sunscreen. At the end of the trip, as he was cleaning our fish, I began to overheat and he knew EXACTLY what to do. He stayed calm, let us stay for a while as I regained my strength, and even checked on me later on in the day. What an amazing experience, captain, and day!! 10/10! We will be fishing with Captain George when we are back this way, and will be referring all of our friends and family!
