What an amazing experience with Captain Kion! He was so accommodating, allowing my toddler to join us, and went above and beyond by snapping pictures and videos of my 11-year-old as he reeled in fish. We opted for the 2-hour trip due to our schedule, but we will definitely book with Captain Kion again for a longer trip when we return to Tampa. Having done 10 fishing charters across the country, this one definitely ranks in our top 3! Highly recommend!
