Captian Chris and mate Will knew right where to go. They were dialed in to the fish and very knowledgeable about the waters. They put us on fish early and often on our 6hr charter. We caught so many mahi we told them to start throwing them back because we already had enough to eat. Will kept the baits fresh and worked the entire trip making sure the gear was ready for the big one. Which Capt. Chris found us in the last hour of the trip, a beautiful Key West sailfish! I would recommend this charter to anyone and will book again next time we are down.
