    It wasn’t fishing. It was like winning the lottery. Every time a hook went into the water, a fish would come up. This charter was the best I’ve ever taken. The crew was amazing. The captain knew exactly where to fish. These guys spoiled us.

    Trip: Wanchese Offshore Trip

  • ★★★★★
    Thanks for the trip had fun and the first mate was awesome. He made sure the kids had fun and how to use all the equipment and educated everyone. The welds on the boat were spectacular. Captain took the time to talk with the kids and made it a great time. I would recommend this trip to anyone in the area. Thanks again Mark and Tom

    Trip: Half Day Nearshore (AM)

  • ★★★★★
    CPT John is a highly experience captain and fisherman who put us right on the tuna and tile fish. We landed 4 nice yellow fin and our limit of blue tile fish. Though he operated a smaller offshore boat, it performed perfectly and safely in 3-4 foot seas 30 miles offshore. He even dressed our fish upon return. I higjly recommend CPT John for any fishing excursion.

    We had a memorable experience. While pre-ttip communication could have been better and the boat condition now versus photos on the website, we caught all we wanted. Good fun and Mate Tom was knowledgeable and accommodating.
