Billy was great! One of the most fun days I’ve had on the water.

Spectacular! Captain Billy went above and beyond what was expected to ensure my family and I (five total) had a great time. He was very personable with us and the kids (ages 5, 7, 9) and made sure that we all had a great time. The water was pretty rough, but he did a great job of putting us on the fish and making sure lines stayed in the water while ensuring our safety. An absolute class act, highly recommend!
