We found Captain Scott to be an excellent tour guide. We hired his boat for a 2 hour tour of the area, and we’re very pleased with his knowledge and friendly demeanor. Highly recommend.

Absolutely fantastic experience with Captain Scott! He was the perfect guide for our group. We had a family sunset cruise on Christmas Day and it was amazing! He read our group perfectly and gave us all sorts of information that was super interesting- from wildlife information to history. Thank you so much! Highly recommend!

If 6 stars was an option, we would have used it for the rating! This was one of the most enjoyable fishing charters we have ever taken and a truly great family adventure. The Captain: Scott is a true professional...not only a great fishing guide, but also a gracious host who gives a really enjoyable and informative tour of the area in the process. He is also great with kids and clearly enjoys showing folks a good time. The fishing: We booked a 4-hour trip and had a weekend's worth of fun. We caught 4 big bull redfish, 6 sharks and several smaller fish. Plus we saw lots of great wildlife along the way (dolphins, wild horses, etc.). The boat: It is perfectly suited for a day of fishing, sightseeing, or taking a sunset cocktail cruise...it was spacious, clean, comfortable, and offered plenty of shade an room to more around. If you are looking for a great time and quality family adventure, this is highly recommended!

Our family has gone fishing twice with Captain Scott. His new pontoon boat is great, very stable to fish from and he and his crew always keep the boat very clean and safe. Captain Scott and his deck mate are great with kids. They are also great at putting fish in the boat which everyone enjoys.

We did the sunset cruise with Captain Scott. We saw picturesque sites along the Amelia River - including Fort Clinch and Cumberland Island (where we witnessed a half dozen wild horses grazing near the beach) - culminating in a beautiful coastal sunset. I cannot recommend enough this experience for family or friend gatherings, and I cannot recommend enough the friendly and knowledgeable Captain Scott. 5 stars all the way around.

We had an awesome charter yesterday with Scott. He was very helpful and easy to schedule and work with. The boat was incredibly spacious and clean and had a fully stoked ice chest for drinks and snacks we brought! I highly recommend!!
