We had an absolute blast on our peacock bass and iguana hunt! Random cold front had the peacock bass hiding but Charles still made sure to still find us a few. Just when we thought it couldn’t get more fun, we switched gears and went full “Florida safari” mode chasing iguanas. This was the highlight of our trip. Charles was awesome super knowledgeable, laid-back, and kept the vibes fun the whole time. Plenty of laughs,...

Charles is a wonderful captain. He is very kind and knowledgeable. My 15 year old son had his heart set on catching mahi-mahi. We are from the Chicagoland area and we have never been deep sea fishing. Charles gave clear instructions and shared his knowledge. My son caught a few mahi-mahi, several triple tails and an Almaco Jack. We highly recommend Captain Charles!

Each trip's price is determined by the guide and reflects all associated costs. A significant factor in pricing is often the type of boat and the corresponding fuel expenses.
