10/10 would absolutely recommend. Justin is an awesome captain. We scheduled our trip several months ago and had to reschedule several times due to weather and work. Justin kept us informed and was more than flexible. Once we made it on the water he took us to some excellent spots and we had non stop action for the entire trip. Not only was the fishing great, but Justin was more than friendly and professional.

One of the best experiences of my life. Iâm from Arizona and this fishing charter made the trip worth it. Captain Justin was very informative and made the trip very enjoyable. Boat was clean and in good shape. Fish rods were top of the line. Caught buckets full of fish and itâs conveniently located next to a fish processor and is reasonably priced. Overall amazing trip and I will come again next time Iâm in Florida.
