I recently had the opportunity to go on a fishing trip in Tampa, Florida, with Captain Kion, and it was truly an unforgettable experience! From the moment we boarded his boat, Captain Kion's friendly and welcoming nature made us feel comfortable and excited. His passion for fishing and extensive knowledge of the Tampa waters was clear right away. Captain Kion took us to some prime spots, and we had a fantastic time reeling in snook and catfish. His expertise and patience were especially helpful for those of us with less experience. He ensured everyone was having a great time and shared valuable tips that improved our fishing skills. What really sets Captain Kion apart is his genuine enthusiasm and commitment to providing an amazing experience for his guests. His love for fishing shines through in everything he does, and thanks to him, we not only caught a lot of fish but also made lasting memories. I’ll definitely be reaching out to Captain Kion for any future fishing trips in Tampa. If you want an exceptional fishing adventure with a knowledgeable and personable guide, Captain Kion is the one to call. Highly recommended!

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!
