    Marvin was the perfect captain for our 6- and 9-year-old girls. Very patient and attuned to the kids. Looking forward to our next fishing trip with him!

    captain Marvin worked hard for us fishing was rough with conditions of the day would book again . only thing was when paying the bill I was surprised to find out that my $138.00 deposit and 35.00 taxes was not part of the total trip price quoted. the final price with deposit and taxes came out to be $863.00 not $690.00 and that's what I paid . plus including tip of $120.00 witch I felt was deserved Not sure why this came out this way but I found this misleading quoted $690.00 total price paid $863.00 plus tip I was told that that's the way it works at captain experience . not the way I was use to

    Captain Trey was awesome. The wind was high, water was rough and bite was slow but Trey worked very hard to find fish. We only caught 1 redfish but it was not from a lack of trying. He talked and cut jokes with the kids and made the day fun. He kept “Bocephus” rocking the radio too. I will definitely book with Trey next time we’re in town.

    Scotty L. with Trey S. of Santa Rosa Beach, Florida

  • ★★★★★
    We had Brandon as our Captain and he was great. we probably covered 80 miles looking for Tarpon and found 5 schools but we couldnt get them to bite. We did hook a couple of different fish in a school but they got off. Our captain did everything he could and was none stop looking to try and get us on fish. I would for sure go back out and try again. Thanks for experience and hope to see you again sometime in the future.

    Allan M. with Brandon S. of Santa Rosa Beach, Florida

  • ★★★★★
    Captain Marvin was awesome. He took time to answer my kids questions, was very professional. Also he got us on the fish, we were even able to be reeling them in all at the same time. We will definitely be going back to Captain Marvin when we visit next year.

    Eric B. with Marvin G. of Santa Rosa Beach, Florida

    Great trip! Brandon was fantastic! Very knowledgeable and patient with the 2 teens I had with me. I would recommend for both beginners and experienced anglers.

    Unfortunately we all wet shut out for the day but Captain Trey tried really hard to find fish.

    Andy M. with Trey S. of Santa Rosa Beach, Florida

  • ★★★★★
    Captain Jimmy was awesome! The weather was not co-operating with us, but the Captain did everything that he could to get us on fish. we did catch a few - they just we not big enough to keep (spotted trout were 13" - 14") I think the Captain was more upset about us not catching fish than we were. Thank you Captain Jimmy!

    Terry V. with Jimmy E. of Santa Rosa Beach, Florida

    Captain Jimmy is a gentleman and a scholar! I had one of the best days on the water. This was my first time salt water fishing and he got me hooked 🪝!!

    Charlie P. with Jimmy E. of Santa Rosa Beach, Florida

  • ★★★★★
    We had a great time with Nick. I love when a guide is so determined to get you on the fish that they’re almost stressed when they’re not biting. Nick refused to allow the fish to hide. He busted his butt to get everyone to their red snapper limit and we even ended up fishing a bit over the time we had allotted to make sure we had our best shot. We had a blast, and I would definitely recommend Nick. We’re going home with a cooler full of snapper, so that’s a win!

    Brad L. with Nick T. of Santa Rosa Beach, Florida

  • ★★★★★
    Jimmy thank you for being a great guide and person. You helped make the trip memorable we appreciate it very much.
