Ben made the fishing trip a great experience; he took his time showing us what we wanted to do; it was just a lot of fun; we'll be back next year. Look no further than Ben because he is the best.

We had a fantastic time with Captain Ben. He immediately placed us in a fantastic scalloping bed. We had some bad weather, so he got us out of there and back to scalloping as soon as possible. We had a four-hour trip limit. Captain Ben comes highly recommended by us.

Captin Ben had a great day on the water today; the big fish weren't biting, but there were plenty of catch and releases.
