We had a wonderful trip! Captain Ken was absolutely great with my son (6 years old). We caught some beautiful Spanish Mackerel, Bluefish, and others. The dolphins were out in force and hung out by the boat for the first part of the day (taking some of our fish with them). We caught enough to feed our family of 7 with leftovers! Overall, I completely recommend it!

Me and my 3 boys had a pleasure to spend an amazing finishing day with Captain Ken! Ken is super knowledgeable, helpful, fun, and extremely nice person! He did everything possible to make sure we had fun and caught as many fish as possible. I would strongly recommend Ken if you looking to book your next fishing trip! I am certainly doing this again on my next trip.

Captain Ken is one of the best guides my son (12 yr old male) and I have ever gone out fishing with (maybe the best ever). We’ve done several lake and deep sea trips, and this is the first time I felt like the guide was actually trying to put us on the fish we wanted to target instead of just what would be easy for the guide. And he did, we caught a really nice tarpon!!! His positivity and relentless chase of the fish we were after made our outing an unforgettable trip.
