My family and I booked an August charter with the captain. We had a great experience as we are brought to the best fishing spots in the area. He really knows what he's doing and I recommend him as a guide. Book him if you have the chance and you will surely not regret it!

Our family fishing trip with Captain Jeff was one of the best experiences we have ever had fishing. He knew exactly where to take us and we maxed out immediately with our catch. We really had a great time with our morning trip and successfully caught multiple fish

It was a wonderful half day trip experience chartering with Captain Jeff Thierry and Kailey. They have an amazing customer service as they communicated well with us during and before the trip. We could not ask for a better trip. Highly recommended and would go back soon.

Our half day trip with captain jeff is such an excellent experience. Everyone was professional and showed great patience as we navigate our way in fishing properly. Would absolutely go back with him and his team.

Our family had a great day with our 4hour tour. The team were polite, friendly, and professional. They informed us when we moved around since some of the fish were not biting in the first spot. They really went the extra mile and helped us fish for a trophy one. We even saw some dolphin come near us. They also offered to clean the fish, took some pics, and gave tips to keep the fish fresh. Would recommend!
