Booking a guide is also more cost effective, especially if you only get out a handful of times per year.

    Captain Krista was great to travel around the ocean with. She knew exactly where to go to find the fish. She was great with the kids and taught them exactly how to fish. We got a little sea sick during so we made a detour and found some amazing shells and got to see so many dolphins. Definitely a trip to remember! Can't wait to come back and do it again.

    Jared was awesome! He is super nice and very patient with us as being inexperienced. He knows the waters very well and we were able to get some really great catches, and plentiful fish. I highly recommend him to anyone.
