Ratings & Reviews Summary

The captain and mate went above and beyond to make sure we had a great day on the water. When the captain noticed my 9-year-old daughter having trouble hooking a fish, he sat with her and helped until she got one, creating an unforgettable family moment. Just when we thought the trip was over, the crew put out a line on the way back so Dad could try for something bigger—and sure enough, we landed a Kingfish! It was an incredible experience, and we would absolutely book again. Huge thanks to the captain for giving us memories that will last a lifetime!

Six of us had an amazing offshore fishing trip with Captain Rick and Mate Craig! They went above and beyond to ensure we all had a fantastic time. The captain put us on two excellent fishing spots, and we were reeling in plenty of keeper fish. One of the best parts was how spacious the boat was—there was plenty of room for all of us to fish comfortably. Craig was great at keeping our lines baited and ready to go. The rates were very fair, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. We headed back as happy fishermen and would definitely do it again!

Captain Rick and his deckhand Brianna were fantastic—knowledgeable, helpful, and truly made the trip enjoyable! They even had a Bluetooth speaker so we could play our own music on the way out, which was a great touch. Everything was prepped and ready, so we could focus on fishing while they handled all the hard work. If you’re serious about catching fish, this is the charter to book. Highly recommend!
