Ratings & Reviews Summary

A outstanding young man, native of the area very knowledgeable about everything. We were here in August the worst time to get out and fish, but we had a blast caught several different species of fish ended up with 14 peacock bass. Had my girlfriend with me and she is a beginner in the bass fishing world and he put her on a bunch of fish so happen to be even the biggest ones out of the day. Would highly recommend him for anyone. Great trip!

Charles was awesome to fish with. He had us on the fish right away and we stayed on them the entire day. He’s a great guide, but an even better dude! I will fish with him any chance I get. You will not be disappointed if you book with him. I’ve done a lot of fishing trips and he’s the best I’ve fished with.

You never know what to expect with a Capitan when booking with a fishing charter. I will say, every one of my expectations were surpassed on this trip. Charles worked and put us on fish all day, his extensive knowledge of the area and the species showed. Played great music, ensured we were comfortable. We were able to see the Everglades, gators, and numerous birds. It was one of the best days on the water I could have ever asked for. I will be back to revisit this trip.

It was an awesome experience with Captain Charles. He knew where to go and what to do. He got us on fish on a reef trip. He baited all our lures and told us what to do. Super nice boat. Knowledgeable and chill guy! Will have to come back for some other species of fish with captain Charles.

This was our first experience booking a fishing charter. Captain Charles was knowledgeable and had all the right equipment to make sure we can catch peacock bass which was on our bucket list. We enjoyed our experience and will definitely contact him for future fishing trips when we visit Miami!
