Ratings & Reviews Summary
August 31, 2024
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!

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.
