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!
