About Your Trip

This trip will take us 3 to 6 miles off the beach to catch a variety of species of fish. We leave with a open mindset and take advantage of what mother nature offers. Some days its bottom fishing for big Sheep's or catching Sea bass for dinner. Other days were running and gunning sight casting at busting Bonita or Spanish Mackerel. After mothers day we start sight fishing for one of the most graceful, tasty and hardest fighting fish to inhabit reef, the Spadefish . THIS TRIP IS WEATHER AND SEA CONDITION DEPENDENT AND IS UP TO CAPTAINS DESCRETION ON WETHER IT IS SAFE. If trip can not be rescheduled you can fish inshore. If you do not choose to fish inshore your deposit is not refundable. Inshore rates will apply if you as the client choose this option,

What makes you different from other guides?

There are alot of good guides in our area. Personally what sets us apart I believe is are willingness to stay focused and fish as hard as hard as we can to produce even on those days mother nature isnt wanting to play.

First Time Booking with Us?

Captain Experiences is home to thousands of quality, vetted fishing, hunting, and other outdoor sports guides across the US and beyond. Our mission is to Unlock the Outdoors by making it quick and easy to book the trip of a lifetime every time with our Damn Good Guides.

We vet our guides and only partner with the best of the best. Our guides do their very best to keep you safe, show you a great time, and send you home with a memorable experience shared with family and friends.

Once you've paid your deposit at checkout, we'll send you a QR Code boarding pass. Just show your guide your boarding pass on the day of the trip, they'll scan it, the remaining balance will transfer automatically, and you'll be all set to get out there. Just make sure you bring a cash tip for the guide!

In the event of inclement weather, our guides will check the conditions and make the final call on whether its safe to go on the trip. If they decide the trip needs to be postponed, we'll work closely with you to reschedule or provide a credit for the full deposit, which can be applied to any of our trips in the US and beyond.

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. Additional costs may include leases, marina or slip fees, and the expenses involved in providing and maintaining the necessary gear for your trip.

After booking your trip, we'll connect you directly with your guide to discuss additional details. In the meantime, our team is here to answer any questions via email, text, or phone.
