Ratings & Reviews Summary
April 20, 2025
We had an amazing experience during our fishing excursion, with both the captain and deck hand being extremely friendly and ensuring our enjoyment throughout the trip.
April 20, 2025
During our 4-hour trip, we managed to catch approximately 7-8 distinct types of fish, totaling around 150 fish. It was an incredible experience, and we are already looking forward to our next outing.
April 20, 2025
We reserved a 6-hour journey and Captain Doug and first mate Ben were absolutely outstanding. They even went beyond our scheduled time to help us catch fish. We were extremely grateful for their extra dedication. The boat itself was fantastic - clean with a pleasant breeze throughout. We spent most of the day trolling, starting just before 6:00. Unfortunately, we only managed to find a few fish, which was frustrating considering that Captain Doug's friends had a successful trip the day before, catching 55 fish. This is our second trip in 2 weeks (with a different charter the first time), and we encountered similar results. I've decided not to go fishing in July since it hasn't been very productive in terms of fish quantity, despite the efforts made by Captain Doug and Ben. Nonetheless, we sincerely appreciate their exceptional commitment!
April 20, 2025
The assistance provided by Captain Doug and mate Ben was exceptional when we caught several fish. They were not only helpful and patient with our children but also took the time to teach them various tricks and techniques. I highly recommend their services.
April 20, 2025
I had an exceptional fishing experience on this trip. The captain and mates were outstanding. Captain Doug was incredibly knowledgeable about the best fishing locations, and mate Ben was skilled at his job. We successfully caught 6 amberjacks, and even managed to reel in a mahi mahi while trolling. I highly recommend going on the tower trip with Captain Doug and mate Ben.
April 20, 2025
The captain and mate were extremely professional. We had a great time and made lots of memories, and we're excited for another trip in the future.
