We had an amazing experience fishing with Nick. He kept us informed about the weather leading up to our trip and knew precisely where to find the fish. We’ll definitely reach out to him during our next visit! Thanks, Nick!

We were on vacation in the Keys and decided to take the kids on a fishing trip, and I couldn't be more pleased! Captain Nick spent quality time with each of my children, answering all their questions and helped us catch a ton of fish! It was a fantastic day with the kids and Ride Out Charters! We’ll definitely book another trip next time we’re in the Keys; my wife is even eager to join since the kids enjoyed it so much!

His ability to read the water, wildlife, and conditions is astonishing—it's almost like a superpower! His skills not only enhance the fishing experience but also make you feel safe while out on the water. We will definitely be back and can always count on him to help us catch some fish!
