We had an amazing time fishing with Ryan! Caught plenty of fish and shared lots of laughs. Took a refreshing swim since we picked the hottest day of the year to head out. Ryan took care of baiting and removing our catches, making the trip effortless and fun. Overall, a fantastic experience!

We had an excellent experience and highly recommend Croix Boys Guided Adventures! We’ll definitely book with them again and can’t say enough good things about the entire trip. Completely satisfied!

My parents and I had an amazing time on the St. Croix with Ryan! My mom, who isn’t an avid angler, managed to catch two Walleye on one reel—what a moment! The pontoon boat was incredibly comfortable, with plenty of shade when we needed it. Ryan’s knowledge of the best fishing spots was impressive, and he provided a great selection of rods and reels for us to try. He even made sure we had fresh fish fillets to take home. I’ll always cherish the memories we made this morning. Thank you for an unforgettable trip, Captain Ryan!

I took my son and his friend out for his 9th birthday, and we had an amazing time! Captain Ryan was patient, helpful, and made the experience enjoyable for everyone. The boat was fantastic, and the river and scenery were absolutely beautiful. Ryan communicated clearly beforehand, was flexible, and made sure the adventure was perfect from start to finish!

Ryan is an outstanding guide who went above and beyond to keep our group of four fishing non-stop. I highly recommend booking him for your next fishing adventure!

January 22, 2025

Ryan gave us an absolutely incredible experience! His clean and spacious pontoon was perfect for our group, complete with fantastic fishing rods for both adults and kids. He even provided drinks and took care of all the air for our gear! Ryan’s enthusiasm made the trip unforgettable as we enjoyed a wonderful fishing adventure on the St. Croix. Our 8-year-old was thrilled to catch a 14” Walleye! Ryan happily baited our lines countless times and was always ready to assist. We’re already planning another trip with him later this summer and can’t recommend his services highly enough—5 stars and more!
