I went on a charter with a friend and 4 teenage boys. Everyone had a great time and the boys are asking to go again. Their knowledge of the surrounding waters is incredible and know exactly what to do in order to put you on the fish. We will definitely be booking again.

WOW! What an experience these guys provided! I was taken out on Legit Fish for my bachelor party yesterday, on my bucket list was to go shark fishing. My brother and friends did their researching to make it happen and I can honestly say I'm pretty sure they pick the best charter fishing boat you could go on. Mark and Danny were great, and from the beginning just had this confidence and knowledge that made you feel like you were on the right boat. Mark even generously called us the day before our original trip and warned us of rough seas and gave us the option to go out the next day. He could have easily just taken our money and taken us out in rough seas fishing. They had us on the fish within minutes of putting the boat in neutral for fishing. and on a shark within about an hour of fishing. By the end of the trip it felt like these guys felt like friends to our entire group. I know for a fact that there will be a return trip next year, and maybe annually with Mark and Danny. Thank you for one heck of an experience!
