Did a 1/2 day trip with Captain Frank & first mate Tony. When planning a trip like this it starts with people & the boat & in this case both were top notch. Both Captain Frank & Tony worked really hard to put us in prime condition to catch many fish. I highly recommend using Chelsea Charters & Frank & Tony.
