Amazing day with Captain Josh! I can't say enough about his efforts to put us on fish—he went above and beyond my expectations. To put it simply, book your trip with him; you'll have an unforgettable experience. 10 out of 10, he was an 18! We'll definitely be back. Thanks again, Captain Josh!!!!!!!

Beautiful day, awesome experience! Captain Josh put us on the fish, and we even caught our first swordfish—now we can check that box! Making memories is what it’s all about. Thank you, Josh! 🤙🏼

Captain Josh took excellent care of us on his speedy fishing machine! His expertise and local knowledge helped us land a variety of fish, and he sent us home with some nice boneless fillets. The taste was priceless! If you're looking for a day out fishing in Florida, you won't regret going out with Captain Josh! Halvor and Tom from Norway.

Yes, private charters are more expensive, but they’re totally worth it! A full day on the water with friends and family, and catching a swordfish to top it off—it doesn’t get any better. Josh had a clear plan, knew exactly what he wanted to do, and executed it perfectly. We knew we were on a mission to catch a specific species in a vast ocean, and we’re so thankful it worked out. Josh was laid-back, which kept the whole vibe calm and relaxing. He was also amazing with my son, who asked at least a million questions. We’ll definitely be repeat customers!
