Ratings & Reviews Summary
May 15, 2025
Nick was flexible from the get-go. We originally booked a 2-hour morning trip but decided to extend it by an hour. It turned out to be an incredible experience, catching Snook and Snapper. I highly recommend Captain Nick!
May 15, 2025
Captain Nick put in the effort to help us score a sweet lineup of Florida Icons—Redfish, Snook, Spanish Mackerel, and some delicious Sand Trout. There's awesome music, he's burning gas to get us right on them, and the coaching is top-notch.

I hooked up this fishing trip for my 9-year-old dude. Being English, I was a bit jittery since it was my first time on a fishing gig abroad. Captain Nick and Kayla were awesome, though—they totally chilled me out. Nick was a legend with my son, who was buzzing with excitement and bombarding him with fish questions. Nick aced every answer like a pro. We had a blast, and guess what? I even faced my fear of fish and gave fishing a shot. Kudos, Nick!
May 15, 2025
What a fantastic outing! While the catch numbers weren't through the roof, we did hook into some tarpon while on the hunt for mangrove snapper. It turned out to be a truly memorable trip, and Captain Nick was a delight to fish with. Highly recommend!
May 15, 2025
Captain Nick was fantastic! He ensured we reeled in some fish, took us to a little island, and went above and beyond with suggestions for restaurants and activities in Clearwater. If you're thinking about a fishing trip, he's the one to go to! Highly recommended.

Nick was fantastic with the kids, and he guided us to some fantastic spots! Our only remorse is not opting for a longer fishing trip. He was also incredibly responsive throughout and after the booking process. Highly recommended!
