We had an amazing time with captain eric.  He is easy to talk to, very knowledgeable, and pretty funny.  We had a great trip, caught plenty of keepers and he even cleaned them for us when we were done for an amazing dinner.  We will definitely be getting in touch with him for our next fishing trip!

Captain Eric did a wonderful job of getting us to where the fish were and always had all of our lines ready to go so quickly. He was a pleasure to fish with and we will definitely go out again with him.

This was our family’s third fishing charter with Eric and once again we came home with a ton of fish and had a great time. Eric even showed our boys spots to fish on their own from the shore after. Would highly recommend!

Captain Eric guided us on a great charter. He was knowledgeable and brought us to multiple locations to try a variety of different fish. He was a good instructor for the beginners and gave helpful tips to the experienced.

Captain Eric gave my family a fabulous day of fishing. We were inexperienced and he was patient and taught us a lot. We went home with memories, photos of big fish caught and some yummy fish to eat. We will definitely do it again if we come back.

Captain Eric was great! Kids had a great time and caught a lot of fish. Probably 5x the amount we actually took home! We even saw a couple dolphins, some barracuda and a school of giant Angel rays. It was a blast!

Capt Eric was a pleasure throughout the entire process. Answered questions very timely leading up to 4hr inshore trip. My two daughters, daughters boyfriend and my son all had a blast. Eric knew where to go and knew when to move on.

Captain Eric was fantastic. He knew exactly where to find all the fish and was excellent with accommodating us novice anglers. We caught multiple kinds of fish which we were able to take the trout that were in season to have fried up for us later. Also saw some sea turtles, dolphins and a nice big nurse shark! I would highly recommend Gulfcart charters to anyone looking to do some serious fishing or just in it for a good time.

We have been out with Captain Eric several times. Always a great experience, and always great fishing. He is friendly, very helpful and easy to get along with. We've used many charters over the years but he is by far one of the best! We highly recommend booking a trip with Gulf Cart (Just not on a day that we want to go!)
