It was an amazing trip! Rafael was incredibly friendly and provided excellent coaching on how to land Tarpon. My husband and I had multiple bites, managing to reel in 3 onto the boat. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and would highly recommend it.

April 7, 2025

Everything was fantastic. Captain Rafa's expertise ensured an amazing trip. Highly recommended!

My wife and I have been fishing with Raf for 10 years and always come back for more! We started the day trolling and landed several snook. Then we went after tarpon, one of the smartest fish to catch. Despite their selective biting, Raf kept chumming around the bait. It was slow at first, but we eventually got four bites from some impressive fish. The first went airborne and spit the hook, the next two we got on the boat, and the last was a beast that wrapped around the anchor and snapped the line. What an incredible day! Thanks again for another great trip, Raf!

We booked a fishing charter and that's exactly what we got—fishing! Oh, and we caught fish too. Captain had us on fish all day, but they were quite picky about what they were biting. We missed several due to eagerness and had a few spit the hooks after impressive aerial displays. We managed to boat one fish, but for us, the thrill was in the fishing, and catching was a great bonus.

April 7, 2025

The Captain was incredibly accommodating and laid-back, making the trip absolutely fantastic! My girlfriend and I went out, had numerous strikes, and successfully landed 4 stunning tarpon during our half-day excursion. Don't hesitate to book this charter!

We thoroughly enjoyed our fishing experience, and what mattered most to me was how well the captain interacted with my young children.
