My girlfriends and I took a beach/sandbar cruise with Capt. Fred, we had an amazing time cruising around and stopping at the beaches to swim.

We did an AM tour with Fred and what a great guide. He knew exactly where the fish where bighting, what they where biting and when. Even a little bit of wildlife info, so much fun. I highly recommend this charter service. You won't regret it.
