Ratings & Reviews Summary
July 3, 2025
It couldn't have been any better. Captain Roland was not only friendly and relaxed but also knew all the best spots. We managed to catch two sharks, two tarpon, two trout, and a flounder. He guides you but also lets you take an active part in the experience. My daughter absolutely adored it. Plus, we got to enjoy dolphin watching, including over 100 dolphins and their adorable babies. It was absolutely perfect!

Our half-day fishing adventure with Captain Roland was an absolute delight. His in-depth knowledge of the waters allowed us to reel in one fish after another. Both my two sons and I felt well looked after; he ensured we had a fantastic time. I wholeheartedly suggest heading out on the water with him, and we can't wait for our next excursion with this seasoned pro.
July 3, 2025
Even though he's only been guiding for four months, Captain Roland's skills are truly impressive. Despite the 700 boats participating in the tournament all around us, we managed to catch more fish than anyone in our vicinity. This guy definitely knows how to lead you to where the fish are. I've been on numerous fishing trips in my lifetime, and I can confidently say that Captain Roland is the best!

We booked this trip a while back because I wanted my husband to have a fantastic time while we were visiting. I enjoy fishing too, but the main goal was for him and his cousin (though I ended up having a blast as well). Captain Roland was super accommodating, played great music, and is really down to earth. I'd go on this trip with him any day and recommend him in a heartbeat!
