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!
