Amazing adventure with Captain Bryan! We landed many fish, including two huge sharks! Can't wait for our next trip!!!

Bryan is such an awesome and down to earth guide! We have used him several times now and he always manages to make our day amazing and is always able to put us on the fish! He is also great with kids and he even incorporated some math into our fishing trip during the summer with our 9 year old!

Captain Bryan was such a great guide! The trip was so fun and exciting. He made sure we were catching fish! Even hooked something so big it took off and broke the line, but he did everything he could to get the boat ready to chase. He's very laid back and easy to talk to, played good tunes and was very knowledgeable about all things fishing, and the habitat around. Will definitely be booking him again! Was a total blast! Such an experience.
