Originally we were supposed to go out deep sea fishing, but the captain strongly recommended we stay close to the shore instead as the winds were strong that day — and we did not regret it one bit. The trip was so fun, we caught enough fish for a very large dinner at the bar right next to the dock. Capt. Neil is also a super nice guy and did everything to make sure we had a good time.

Not pictured: a nurse shark that one of us almost reeled in! We took a video of it fighting, and in the end it got away before it could be a photo :)

Captain Neil worked extremely hard to not only provide a fantastic fishing trip but also teach techniques to make the trip so successful!  We had an absolute great time catching all kinds of fish including a tarpon which has been on my bucket list for a long time, a baby Goliath grouper and a couple sharks!
Capt. Neil makes fishing fun and all the marine life and wildlife you experience makes the trip even better!  Can’t say enough about it!!
Looking forward to our next trip to the Keys!!!!

We were not even sure we were going to get this trip in due to bad storms last 2 days.  Our guide Neil, recommended heading out at 10 as opposed to original 8 am.  Water began clearing and we had a great trip.  All 4 of us caught fish.  Several of us caught multiple fish including 5-6 varieties.  Neil filleted them for us, hogfish grill prepared them for our meal.  We also had plenty left over to eat rest of the week!!!  Best fishing trip we’ve been on in 20years of charters

Excellent experience. Neil was a fabulous captain, boat was clean, stocked with bait and poles.
Neil bated for us and talked us through everything. He brought us to some sweet spots, taught us how to catch ocean fish, which is much different than we are used to back in Vermont! We learned about different species, hooked some keepers that Neil filleted and were then cooked up for us at Hog Fish.  I have never tasted anything so fresh! We will definitely do this again! We usually rent a boat for a day when we visit, but this was so much easier.  All we had to do was board and reel them in. Best day of our vacation.We will do this again!

Captain put us on the fish right away! Caught Barracuda, Goliath Grouper, Lizard Fish, Mackerel, grunts and Yellow snapper.  Captain was extremely patient with our kids (and us adults). Had plenty of bait and the right tackle. Great boat. Fast and handled perfectly.  Even saw sharks and large rays jumping out of the water! Worth every penny. Can’t wait till our next trip with 24/7 fishing!
