My husband and I reserved a fantastic fishing excursion with Fox Sea Lady Fishing Charter. We had a terrific time getting to know Captain Fox and First Mate AJ; they are undoubtedly people people who love to chat. They knew where the fish would be biting and were very professional. They assisted us by telling us which line got a bite. We river fish but had never fished in the ocean. They cleaned, fileted, and packed our fish for us when we docked. These two are excellent! We will certainly return to see these two. Thank you both for a great end to our vacation!

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.
