absolutely horrible experience last Friday, first of all none of us smokes! BUT the boat helper smoked like he would never see a cigarette again, no matter if we asked him not to smoke or if the captain tell him not to smoke, his name is Steve or Steven, whatever it is he don't need to be working with public, he was rude, NASTY guy all around, he will throw everything and anything in the sea and the trash can is 3 feet away from him, it not matter the ocean is a bigger trash can in his mind. this was the 4th time I fished off of this boat and this was the MOST horrifying experience ever! we all got sick due to the SMOKING smell of course and the captain would not go back to the shore not matter how much I told him that we were all Done and that I would pay for the full 12hrs either way we just want to go back, nope not a chance he wouldn't go back, to top it off the bathroom of the boat is NASTY!!! Smells like hell! I promise all of you guys those folks will never see me and my folks on that boat nor with the same company again, EVER! captain name is Ernie, nice guy but not human enough to understand that customer well being is more important then be in the middle of the ocean sick as a dog all day, he got not mercy!

Been fishing many times with the Lil Sparkie and crew! A great time had by all, and big fish put in the box! Air conditioned cabin makes nice on the hot summer days. Highly recommend!

December 24, 2024

This is a fantastic boat with some great captains. We always enjoy the Lil Sparkie and will be back again

December 24, 2024

Amazing captain, very easy going and will make sure you have a great trip every time! I highly recommend

December 24, 2024

Safe, Fun, Knowledgeable. That’s what you can expect from the crew at Captain Fisher Charters. Guaranteed to catch some nice fish and you will have a great time doing so.

My wife and I went with another couple to go fishing for my 40th birthday. We did a twelve hour trip with them where we limited out on trigger fish and Berliners in no time. I was able to catch a tuna and several Amberjacks. The captain was very knowledgeable and Dyson was fantastic. He kept us entertained and taught us so mush in a short amount of time. I highly recommend these guys and Dyson let me know when you get your own boat and I’ll come back down and catch that shark I wanted. I couldn’t recommend Captain Fisher Charters enough. You won’t go wrong going with them.
