Our trip almost didn’t happen due to a booking error by the captain, but once we rescheduled for later the same day everything went smoothly. Captain G was great with the kids (ages 7 and 9) and knew right where to go to ensure the boys caught lots of different fish. I would definitely recommend his charter service to other families, just make sure you connect with him directly the day before.

Captain G was a kind and nice guide for my grandson during his first fishing experience! He taught him to cast and allowed him to support navigating back to the dock! We plan to book a future fishing experience with Captain G !

Captain G is the man! We had a blast on our trip chasing reds on soft plastics and fly inshore, hammering flounder at G's secret spot, loading up on Spanish Mackerel at the jetties, running the beaches for cobia and catching bluefish and a 6' Blacktip Shark, and then running a few miles off to try our luck on some amberjack.

This trip was a wild nonstop adventure and I came away amazed at the variety of fishing opportunities Captain G can line up at the drop of a hat. There was never a dull moment and G's setup is perfect for skinny water, zipping down the coast, and fishing open water offshore. His gear is top of the line and he was super quick to re-rig tackle when needed so we were keeping lines wet. 10/10 and can't wait to fish with G again sometime soon. -Jonathan with Captain Experiences
