We had a trip we won't forget. We truly felt welcome, safe and respected as customers; even not knowing all the ins and outs of the fishing world. Cpt. Chris was great and had us on some big fish very quickly! Deckhand Dexter was patient but firm in his ways to run things safely and get it done! We lucked out with the Gulf being smooth as glass , the sun just peeking out and the fish being hungry! ☆☆☆☆☆ Saving up for next trip!

Booked a 10 hour fishing trip. Captain Chris and Dexter are just as the boat is named Awesome!!! Captain Chris put us on the fish and Dexter was the perfect first mate. It had been a while since my daughter and my last fishing trip (14 yrs) and the others had not fished before. We came into dock at the end of day with the limit on our catch and had a Au Sum experience. I would highly recommend Captain Chris and Dexter if you want to catch fish and have great time. Thanks again Tom Dubois
