Great time as normal with Capt. Joe. Been fishing with him multiple times and makes it enjoyable for the avid fisher or just a family trip.

Joe is awesome!! We towed our boat all the way from New Orleans to go lobstering and ended up having engine issues. After calling multiple places that were booked Joe was recommended. He was able to fit us in on our last day in the keys. Joe was great with my 8&9 yr old and put my husband on the lobsters. Joe saved our vacay!! We will definitely be booking with him again.

Had an absolute blast out on the water with family the past weekend! Captain Tripp was more than accommodating, and ensured a safe voyage at all times! 10/10 would definitely recommend to anyone looking to get out on the water!
