Horrible communication. Waited till I arrived to the boat to tell me we could not go cause he couldn't find a mate .very unprofessional would not recommend!!! An for your reply your captain called me the day before saying he was having trouble finding a mate , when I asked if I should find someone else to take me out he insured me he would find one and be ready to go ! So don't make up lies saying it was cause of a no show !

Had a great experience today. This was the first time my kids have been on a fishing charter. We caught our limit of mangrove snapper, as well as a few Goliath grouper and 3 Sharks. The whole family had a blast. Thanks for the great day!

Our family spent a full day offshore fishing and we had a blast. Captain Chris and the mate, Dillon, were fantastic. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. We caught mahi, yellow tail and a mangrove. We highly recommend fishing with this crew!
