#1 charter boat captain. The best of the best!

July 5, 2025

First time out on a charter boat did not disappoint. It was great . This was part of my older son's bachelor party and he had a great time. We will be back for sure. Fox was awesome put us on a lot of fish . AJ the first mate was amazing he was always on top of everything we needed. He cleaned over 50 fish for us. If you are looking for a private fishing charter FoxSea Lady would be the one.

Great experience for our 3 hour trip. Captain knew exactly where the fish were (45 Spanish and 5 AB caught) and treated us like old friends. First mate was awesome and on top of his game. Couldn't ask for a better charter with the guys. Thank you so much FoxSea Lady Charters for a great time.

Had an awesome time!!

Absolutely fantastic trip with Fox and AJ. The weather wasn't great, but they were more than happy to take us out and catch A TON of fish. We ended up getting 49 fish on a 6 hour trip (5 hours of wet lines). They were both very engaging, helpful, humorous, and of course SAFE. There were only four of us on the trip, but we had multiple doubles on lines, and even the occasional triple we were able to get in the boat. If you want to get out on the the big water with someone who knows where to find fish, Fox is the guy. They were able to clean and fillet the fish in about 45 minutes as well, so we went away with a large cooler full of Spanish Mackerel, Atlantic Bonito, and even a few False Albies (little tunny). The boat was great, and even with some nautical seas, they were able to get the job done! We will be going back in October to get a little further out and get some bigger fish on the line, but this trip was all it was expected to be, and more.
