Awesome trip! Great boat, very clean and organized. Great Captain! Highly recommended. Hammered the fish. Cap recommended taking some of the catch to Grills for them to cook. One of the best meals we’ve had. Next time we’re in town we’re definitely going back out with DIRTY DOLLY!

"I had a great time fishing with my family on the Dirty Dolly! Captain Jason was an incredibly knowledgeable and accommodating host for us on the water. We caught five total fish, four of which we were able to keep - enough fish to feed 10 people for multiple days! I would definitely recommend the Dirty Dolly to anyone who is looking for a professional and fun trip out at sea. Also: my boyfriend asked me to add that Jason is an awesome host and that he really enjoyed his conversations out on the water with him and he recommends the Dirty Dolly for anyone looking for a fun time out on the water."

"The Dirty Dolly is a solid bet if you’ve booking blind in the Cape Canaveral area. Captain Jason was very accommodating for two buddies with their kids on their first in shore fishing trip. The boat is very well equipped with everything you could want or need. He’s even got a nice stereo system with a soundtrack between stops. We hooked into 30 fish in 4 hours. Our first fish was on within 90 seconds of arriving at the first of 100’s of spots he has mapped in the area. My 11 yr old daughter had a ball. My buddy’s 12 yr old son was ready and willing to come back the next day! Be ready for cool stories, great fishing, and cool merch to purchase at the end. Dirty Dolly is worth every penny."
