We loved our fishing adventures the the contender and Captain Ricky. He knows the area and is great with kids. The trip was so great we booked another the next day !!  We already are talking about our next summer booking with Captain Ricky.

you won’t regret going with the Contender

Weather wasn’t optimal as-well-as the time of year, but CAPT Ricky still PUT US ON THE FISH!!!  Our last minute charter (2 adults / 2 children) was amazing; the highlight of our morning came when each of the boys caught monster bull reds (39”+ & 34”+) within 15 seconds of each other!  Thank you CAPT Ricky for a great time, we will be back!!

***Safety, CAPT Ricky’s boat is top of the line with new power and electronics. Being a retired Coast Guard officer it was paramount to ensure the vessel we were headed out on was capable of bringing us back. CAPT Ricky’s 33 Contender ‘Rock Bottom’ was dry, fast and stable through the 4-6 seas we encountered.

Thank you for helping my family make memories not soon forgotten!

This was our second time fishing with Captain Ricky.  We had a great day, great weather and caught several fish. Once again Captain Ricky was great with my kids and patient with their many questions.  We look forward to going out again soon.

Had an excellent half day on Captain Ricky’s 31’ Contender. Little too early for the Cobia run and spanish mackerel, but Capt. Ricky put our family on fish right away. Caught a bunch of snapper & hooked a huge grouper. Capt. Ricky is very kind, knowledgeable, knows how to read the water (temperature, currents, etc), and knows how to catch fish. Even a 1/2 day family trip was well worth it!

Great experience. Ricky knows his stuff, anticipates everything, keeps out of the way when you need him to, but he’s there when you do, without you needing to ask. Perfect host as well as Captain.
