My husband and I visited Orlando and had the pleasure to go fishing with David’s dad, Richard. It was our first time fishing on a boat on the lake and Richard made sure we had everything we needed. We were able to catch some big largemouth bass and had a great morning on the lake. Thank you, David and Richard and looking forward to visiting next time!

We had an incredible time with Captain Jay and first mate Matt. While fishing always comes with its uncertainties, having experts like them on board makes all the difference. These guys really know their stuff. We spent the entire day aboard Captain Jay’s boat and were lucky enough to catch and land a stunning Bluefin Tuna—what an adrenaline rush! It’s a memory I’ll cherish forever. I’d gladly fish with Captain Jay any day of the week. Thanks again, guys!

Went out on the sunset cruise a few times into Boston and the weather was perfect, the views were amazing and Rick was extremely accommodating! Would definitely recommend Trinacria Fishing if you are in the Boston area!
