We were a group of 6. Captain Max taught us all the skills and tricks to obtain the perfect catch, this man was born to be a charter captain. Max is a very knowledgeable fisherman and knows his fishing areas like the back of his hand. We landed about 25+ fish, 12 were really good keepers, and even landed a bonnet head shark. His first mate (I’m bad with names but I believe his name was Conner) was also on point and was always loading us up with bait and setting up our fishing poles.  I’ve fished in Hawaii before and I’d much rather go to Tampa with Captain Max which speaks a lot about how our trip went. This trip was absolutely amazing and the amount of adrenaline going through our bodies while catching all these fish was incredible. I will be exclusively booking all my future Tampa fishing trips with Captain Max!

We had a guys trip and had an amazing time! Captain Max took us to super cool fishing hot spots and we hooked up on a few really good keepers. He explained to us how certain times of the year the fishing isn’t as good and is also affected by the temperature of the water. He’s very knowledgeable to the Tampa fishing waters and is an amazing Captain. I highly recommend to anyone looking for a fun a time!

The afternoon started out a little windy and choppy on the bay so we went up river and into some canals. Had a lot of bits. We landed a black drum and a small ray. Then before sunset the bay calmed and we tried for some shark with no luck. Over all it was a great day on the water Captain Max. Ne time were in town we will be booking with him.

This was our 2d trip w/ Capt Max. Max & Sébastien diligently work to get us on fish - see photo. Snapper, trout, triple fin, Snook, mackerel & blues all ended up on Max’s filet knife; 11 lbs of snapper filets, plus the other species! At $26 per lb for snapper in town our trip was nearly 1/2 paid for!
Max knows the Bay, knows where & when to hit certain spots for consistent strikes.
Capt Max will strive to get fish on your line; highly recommended!!

I went fishing with my wife and two late teenage boys and had a great time.  Captain Max was very nice and extremely helpful.  There were great fishing spots and one that was just okay, but hey thats why they call it fishing.  Our last hour of the charter, Max offered to go to another fishing spot or to take us on a tour of downtown Tampa on the boat. That was really nice.  We got to see more of Tampa than we would have had time to on our quick weekend trip. My boy’s enjoyed the fishing even more than Busch Gardens.
