Tom made for a spectacular experience. We caught tons of fish. He is patient and kind. We had no children on the boat but I could see where he would be great with them. He’s in with a really cordial guide community who seem to help each other out. We rarely passed a boat that didn’t wave and give a “hi Tom”. Really cool experience. Will do over and over again.

This was a complete blast! Tom really knows what he’s doing too. He was patient with us, and our ultra newbie grandson from Phoenix. He taught him how to catch mackerel and pompano. He went the extra mile to find the fish and show us how to land them. We highly recommend !

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.
