Had a fantastic trip! As a novice to fishing, Captain Dalton was incredibly helpful. I'd definitely choose to book with him again.

Captain Dalton was very professional and an excellent guide. I took a few other men and my 6 year old son on a short 2 hour trip. It was an absolute blast! Captain Dalton fileted our fish and we ate them when we got home. They were delicious! I would definitely go again on this charter.

My husband and two sons went out fishing with Captain Dalton today and my youngest son can’t quit talking about it! We are so appreciative of all of your help to make this day a blast for them. My husband said that you did everything, that they just had to sit back and fish! He recommends your chartering service to anyone that wants to catch some fish despite the dolphins circling the boat the entire time! Thanks again! We hope you had as great of a day as the boys and my husband did

Captain Dalton was fantastic! Our 9-year-old, who was the big reason we went fishing, is on the autism spectrum, and we weren't sure how he'd handle the boat. But Dalton was awesome with him. Our kiddo managed to reel in quite a few fish, and we even got to spot a bunch of playful dolphins (even though the fishermen might not have been too thrilled, haha). We also got to chill at crab island for a bit and had some great chats. No doubt, we'd totally go on another fishing trip with Captain Dalton! Thanks for an incredibly fun morning!

Me and my 10-year-old kiddo had a blast hangin' with Dalton on a 2-hour fishing adventure in July 2023. Dalton wasted no time gettin' us on some fish (trolling style). We hooked blue fish, lady fish, and even nabbed a barracuda – talk about excitement! We were reelin' 'em in pretty steady throughout the trip, which was awesome. I've been out with a bunch of guides before and sometimes came up empty-handed, so this was a sweet surprise. Gotta say, Dalton was real cool with my son. He gave us easy-to-follow tips and stayed patient all the way. He knew his stuff about the fish and the area, and just a genuine dude to hang with on a boat. Big shoutout to Dalton for makin' these awesome memories. If we ever swing by again, you bet we'll be signin' up for another round of fun on the water!

We arrived at the dock, and the Captain handled everything else smoothly. We caught fish, spotted dolphins, snapped photos, munched on snacks, and I didn't need to stress or micromanage. Being a mom of two boys, it was like a dream come true. The Captain was super chill and really knew his stuff. My 6-year-old fired away with questions, and the Captain happily engaged and got him curious. My 13-year-old did his thing with fishing at his own pace. When we needed a hand, the Captain walked us through reeling in the big ones. He even cleaned the fish and gave me tips for looking after the fillets on our 10-hour drive home. Seriously, the best vacation in 13 years – hands down. Quick tip for other moms: Don't overpack. I had a Bogg bag with sunscreen, one towel for shading the 6-year-old from too much sun, sunglasses, hats for everyone, a ziplock bag to keep my phone dry, and a special snack for my picky eater. The Captain had us covered with cokes and chips. I prepaid and left all the cash and ID in the car. Remember, less is more. No need to worry about stuff getting wet or getting in the way.

Captain Dalton Bryant was there bright and early, kickstarting our fishing adventure with a bang. Those fish must've been super hungry 'cause once they nibbled, they just wouldn't quit. And oh boy, dolphins made an appearance – not exactly the friendliest bunch, 'cause they snatched some of our catch! Had an absolute blast, gotta give major props to Captain Dalton Bryant. He was a riot, filled us in on all the deets, gave us a hand, and man, he put in some serious hustle. No doubt, we're planning a round two with him at the helm. Count us in, Captain Dalton!

Capt Jesse He has guided us twice so far and he is proving to be very knowledgeable of the waters, very outgoing and charismatic as well as a professional guide. We have always caught the species we were targeting and had a lot of fun doing it. Our most recent Tarpon trip was a raging success and we can’t wait to do it again next month with him.

What an amazing day!! Perfect weather, perfect fishing and the perfect guide! We got on the boat and he asked our girls what they wanted to catch. They said “sharks!” So Captain Jessie brought us out and we caught a shark for each of them in less than 30 minutes!! Wow!! And if that wasn’t enough, we went on to another spot and caught about 75 other fish! Was so much fun!! Thanks for such a memorable experience Captain Jessie!! We’ll be talking about this for many years to come!!
