Captain Doshier and his first mate Daniel were fantastic! We hit our Amberjack limit in just 30 minutes and spent the rest of the time battling these powerful fish. We also trolled for King Mackerel and tried our luck with Triggerfish. Both were incredibly personable and easygoing, making the trip even more enjoyable. Definitely booking with them again!

Fantastic experience! Ernie was flexible with timing to accommodate the changing weather. The boat was larger than expected, making for a smooth and comfortable ride. First mate Daniel was outstanding, and all equipment was in excellent condition. The captain worked hard to find the fish, and Daniel did a great job cleaning our catch back at the dock. Our group had an amazing time!

While there's never a guarantee of what you'll catch, this trip was perfect! The captain and first mate, Daniel O’Neal, were fantastic, especially helping the two first-time offshore anglers in our group. We had a blast bailing Dolphin and, best of all, the captain put me on my first Blue Marlin—an estimated 300-pounder! Daniel’s help was key in getting it to the boat. Unforgettable experience!
