These guys are fantastic! Our family of six caught six fish and had a great time. Ariel and Alex were friendly and good with kids. They were on time and well supplied with fishing gear. The boat was exceptionally clean and nice sized. We cannot say enough good things about our experience — it was the highlight of our trip!

I have been on many fishing charters in Florida and this is one of my favorite trips. The brothers captain and crew are great. From the first booking we had great communication with them.

It was a wonderful family experience for me, my niece and two brothers-in-law. If you're looking for a fun time on the water, I highly recommend contacting Hookem N Cookem! Enjoyed the loot last night!

My children are 8 and 10 years old. My husband and I were so impressed with the patience they had with our children!

The boat was great - non-slip padded floors, bathrooms, shaded cabins, lots of space, option to sit in front or back. The crew was fantastic as they taught my young children techniques, helped remove bait hooks and fish, and answered a million questions from my 8 year old.
