Ratings & Reviews Summary
June 24, 2025
We had such an awesome experience!!! We learned so much about marine life and our surroundings. Captain Dave and Caroline were both so great with my 10 and 8 year old children. I’m so happy we went on this trip and if we are ever visiting this area again I will definitely be booking with them again. Thank you both so much!

Chad was great. The company was very professional and even reached out to us to rebook ahead of time based on weather conditions. We had so much fun! Chad was knowledgeable, friendly, and willing to move us around for different fishing experiences. He was helpful with all of us who knew little to nothing about fishing. A great family experience! Boat isn’t huge, but has everything you need and want. Fish cleaning available onsite afterward—not with their company—was also great.

Went out with Dave and Quentin today and had a great time. They were great with ours kids and very responsive to our communication while we were booking.

Amazing day! Captain Dave put us on the fish! Nicest captain I’ve ever met! Did everything he could to keep us entertained! We caught multiple large trigger fish, porgy and sea bass! After that we filled the box with Mahi Mahi. It was awesome

It was a blustery day and we were a tad nervous about going out. Captain Quentin quickly put our fears at ease by stating we would head into the sound! We had an absolutely amazing afternoon, catching numerous fish ( and releasing). At one point we had caught 6 fish within 15 minutes. It was exhilarating! And my absolutely favorite part was the school of dolphin. What a gift of an afternoon… when we docked, Quentin brought the fish over to be cleaned and we are now having a feast with enough leftover to freeze and bring home!!!
