Ratings & Reviews Summary

Outstanding charter we have had two 12 hour trips and both brought home record catches
November 21, 2024
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

We had a fabulous and bountiful charter! Aus-sum Chris and Matt made the experience. We would definitely recommend them on a sea voyage all year long. Thank you again!
November 21, 2024
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!

Captain Chris and deckhand Dexter did a great job today and they know what they are doing. We were on fish from very first catch to the very last. Best boat we have been on. My 12 year son first trip and he caught fish all day.
