My family and I had a great time fishing with Captain Craig. He was so nice and knowledgeable. We will definitely be calling him the next time we're in town!

Had a great time on the water with Captain Craig. Caught a bunch of fish and they all put up a great fight. Very easy going day, we showed up everything was ready to go and we were at our first spot quickly catching fish. Everything was provided, great experience.

This is my second time fishing with Capt. Lahr and it didn't disappoint. He knows the waters of Clearwater like the back of his hand. Within minutes of boarding the boat we were on a mess of Redfish. He took the time to explain the water conditions, submerged structure and tactics for catching fish to me and my son. Despite the less than ideal weather conditions we had a blast and caught plenty of Reds and a pair of Snook. Next time I'm in Clearwater I'll be calling for another trip!

Captain Craig was great! Put me and my wife on some great fish. Very knowledgeable and easy to get along with. 100% would book again

It's obvious Capt Craig knows what he's doing... We were on fish right away as soon as we got to our first spot. Took my two sons on their first saltwater charter and they had a blast. Each one caught their biggest fish of their life, including a trophy Snook. Craig makes every part of the trip easy... From booking, to discussing the trip beforehand, to having everything needed to adjust to different fishing conditions. Will definitely use Skinny Waters Charters again when we're back in town.

I told Craig I wanted to go catching not fishing and that’s what we did! About 25 fish in 4 hours. Fantastic guide. He knows everything there is to know about fishing and the environment. Even saw porpoises, a bull shark, and a family of manatee. I wish I could go again tomorrow!
