Three of us, including my wife and 18-year-old grandson, had an incredible time on our trip with Captain Ben Allen. He provided us with a wealth of information about the boat's surroundings and pointed out numerous historical landmarks along the St. Mary area. Our fishing adventure took us to Cumberland Island and the jetties, where we had the delightful surprise of spotting wild horses along the shorelines. Our primary targets were trout and flounder, but we were open to catching anything that would bite, and we ended up bringing home a bountiful catch. Although we didn't need it during our trip, it was reassuring to know that there was a conveniently located porta-potty in an enclosed area, just in case. Captain Ben, thank you for an unforgettable experience that we'll cherish and talk about for a long time.

We wholeheartedly recommend his services to anyone seeking a fantastic fishing adventure!

Ben proved to be an excellent guide. We successfully caught a variety of fish in good numbers, despite some challenging wind conditions. His expertise as a captain was evident, as he even suggested a shorter trip based on tide and wind direction considerations. If we find ourselves in the area again, we would unquestionably choose to fish with him once more. Kudos to Ben for a fantastic experience! Brian, always choosing the green option!
