Had a great adventure with Captain Burke and caught two massive reds and about 20 baby sharks! The winds were harsh but we finished strong. Thank you for the experience and we will be back!

We have used them several times for fishing and I highly recommend. We have caught fish every time and the captains and staff have always been great.
