We caught a large Kingfish and even had a monster on the line that, unfortunately, we couldn’t land. Still, I really enjoyed the fishing, and the ladies and Brian had a great time as well, relaxing with drinks and taking in the action. I highly recommend Captain Chris and Captain Jimmy — they worked non-stop to get us on the fish and made sure we had a great experience. We had some nice success during our 4-hour morning trip, and I would definitely book with them again!

Captain Chris and First Mate Jamal worked tirelessly to put fish in the boat, even on a day when the bite was slow. Right at the buzzer, we landed the catch of a lifetime — a true trophy fish for my teenage boys. It was an unforgettable experience and a memory we’ll cherish forever!

Despite the rough waters, Captain Chris and his First Mate ensured we got out on the water for an unforgettable experience with our kids. Captain Chris carefully monitored the weather and picked the best day for our trip. While the kids had been on boats before, this was their first time on the ocean! Captain Chris offered fantastic advice to help us make the most of our adventure. To top it all off, our 9-year-old son even caught a Sailfish! We can’t wait to return and do this again!

Captain Chris and First Mate Steven were fantastic guides during our afternoon trip! We caught plenty of tuna, and Steven was especially great with my kids (8 and 11), helping them reel in fish and teaching them about the fish and gear. Captain Chris took us all over in search of fish and made sure everyone had a great time. The boat handled the decent-sized waves really well, and we felt comfortable the entire time. I would definitely recommend this crew and boat!

We were looking to make some lasting memories, and this trip definitely delivered. We started with sport fishing, but Captain Chris stayed in touch with other captains and learned that no one was having much luck that day. With about 40 minutes left, we shifted gears to catch some fish for dinner. Captain Chris took us to a couple of spots where we landed some deep-water snapper. They filleted the fish for us and dropped us off at a restaurant to have them cooked. It was, without a doubt, the best fish the kids have ever had and the highlight of our beach vacation!

Captain Chris and Jamal work tirelessly to get you on the fish. They are both incredibly knowledgeable and dedicated to making sure you have a great experience. Highly recommended!
