Our group had an amazing time! The crew went above and beyond to get us on the fish, even arranging for a friend to bring extra shrimp for bait. They were super friendly, and the boat was excellent. We highly recommend them! Thanks again for a fantastic trip!

January 22, 2025

Captain John was incredibly personable and extremely knowledgeable about all things on the water. We caught several cobia and then moved on to amberjack until we were completely worn out. If a line snapped, Captain John had another one ready in no time. Absolutely a 10/10 experience—highly recommend and would book again!

John was an incredible captain! Despite challenging wind and tide conditions, he worked hard to ensure all six of us had a fantastic time and made some great catches. We ended up catching plenty of fish and had an amazing experience. Thank you again for an unforgettable trip!

What a fantastic day on the water! We caught flounder, sea bass, and a huge redfish. Everyone had a blast. Big thanks to the captain and first mate! Can’t wait for the next trip!
