My wife, son, daughter, and I had an incredible day on the water. Captain Laurel was a joy to interact with—fun, engaging, and very knowledgeable. He worked tirelessly and showed great patience with us throughout the trip. He knew exactly where to find the fish, and by the time we headed back, our arms were sore from all the action. It was a fantastic experience!
