My wife and I had a previous unpleasant experience on a drift boat in the Keys that ended with seasickness. However, today's trip was remarkably different – the water was perfectly calm like glass. Captain Eric provided exceptional service, handling everything from baiting hooks to navigating the boat, tying rigs, cutting bait, and even catching bait. His extensive knowledge of the area enriched our experience with sightseeing, dolphin watching, a guided tour of the intercoastal canal, and of course, a successful fishing trip. He also gave an informative on-the-water seminar and generously took photos for us. It was an all-encompassing experience that exceeded our expectations. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and highly recommend Captain Eric and his charter. We look forward to returning on our next trip from Maryland.

May 21, 2025

Captain Alex and Eric were excellent guides, demonstrating extensive knowledge of the local waters and fishing techniques. We enjoyed a diverse catch and gained valuable insights into saltwater fishing and the Miami area. Their attentive and helpful demeanor ensured a successful outing with plenty of action and fish on the lines. We look forward to fishing with them again next time we're in the area!

May 21, 2025

We caught a variety of fish today, including a pufferfish and a grouper. It was a fantastic day, although we wished we had more time. The captain was extremely friendly and even made a stop so my wife could see some wildlife.

May 21, 2025

Despite having to cut our trip short because my friend got seasick, we still had a great time! The crew made the experience enjoyable and took us to some fantastic spots.

May 21, 2025

The captain and crew were excellent, demonstrating strong local knowledge. We successfully caught three different species of fish and had two others on the line. It was a fantastic day out on the water!

May 21, 2025

Captain Eric is an exceptional guide—polite, dedicated to catching fish, and always ready to assist with anything we needed. The boat was impeccably clean, and we enjoyed fishing for live bait before exploring various fishing spots throughout the night. Highly recommended! I look forward to fishing with you in Brazil next time!
