We had an awesome time and would totally do it again!

May 9, 2025

I had the most incredible fishing trip with Captain Eric from Nautical Adventures—seriously, can't stop talking about it! Right from the start, smooth communication set the tone, and Captain Eric had everything sorted before we even stepped on the boat. What really made it outstanding was Captain Eric's attention to detail and his genuine commitment to making our day special. This outing with my son easily tops our list of fishing experiences. Don't let the lack of reviews fool you; Nautical Adventures was the highlight of our entire trip. I'm stoked to spread the word about how much fun we had! Captain Eric had the boat packed with everything, and his enthusiasm kept the excitement going. He had lunch, drinks, fishing gear, life jackets—literally everything covered! We ended up catching over 30 fish, adding an extra thrill to an already awesome day on the water. And to top it off, Captain Eric went the extra mile by cleaning our catch and sending us home with our fish! It's these personal touches that make Nautical Adventures stand out. Thanks again. We won't even consider booking with anyone else.

Eric's the way to go! Such an awesome time for my family.

Eric was an awesome Captain, and we had a blast! Definitely coming back for more!

My 27-year-old son and I had an incredible experience on this trip. Captain Eric was amiable, approachable, and highly dependable. When a storm was forecasted, Eric effortlessly rescheduled our fishing day to a different morning. During our excursion, while other guides were unsuccessful in one area, his insight led us in the opposite direction, resulting in a catch of numerous fish that left us tired but thrilled. Having caught seven different species, this trip was truly remarkable. We're definitely planning to return, and I'll also recommend him to our renters.
