    Capt Jon was great! He agreed to go out, even though it was so windy and cold and made sure we had a fun time, even if we didn’t expect to have much luck given the conditions. We were victorious over the gulls however and got several great fish!

    I highly recommend booking through Captain Experiences, Guides are professional and easy to work with. Put us on fish immediately. I booked two boats for a corporate outing and all went great as expected. Top notch experience..
