    Trip: Coastal Clearwater Charter

  • ★★★★★
    Absolutely great experience!!! My 81 year old Dad, my two sons ages 25 and 24 and myself 57 had the time of our lives. It was all our first times. We caught so many fish, so many different kinds of fish. I was truly impressed with Brad and Ben. They took care of my Dad with his age, they were funny, they were professional, they schooled us on fishing and what we were catching. We watched them cut up the fish, then showed us where to go to have them cook it up for us and it was the best tasting fish we've ever had. I highly recommend them and can't wait to go back for another phenomenal experience.
