Despite coming to Florida for many years I had never done a fishing trip until this time. We wanted to book a trip but we’re running out of time, Capt Chris got us out on the water the next afternoon. We did a four hour trip. Capt Chris made us all comfortable with his witty banter. Lee probably bait 100 lines for me and my two young daughters (6,8) and helped them catch some fish. He let them touch them/hold them. Each one of us caught multiple fish! I’ve never seen my family (17,15,8,6 year olds) have such a great time. Definitely will be booking again with them during our next trip. Highly recommend!

The captain and first mate were both very nice people and accommodating. However, we felt taken advantage of. I’ve been going to Sarasota on fishing charters for 21 years and never have I ever had an experience like this. We took over an hour to get out to offshore fish and only to find massive sweets that were completely unfishable. The trip should’ve been called before this even happened. We then came back to inshore fish only to catch nothing. We trolled for another two hours without any success. The captain (again a very nice person) called me up to see if I was ok calling the trip at this point as nothing was happening. I was told I would only be charged for a 4 hour trip instead of the six hour trip as planned. The fact of the matter is that we shouldn’t have gone out in the first place as the weather was awful. I felt taken advantage of and my family was not happy. Money was still paid and no fish were caught. The captain did offer to take me out next time were in the area but I don’t think we will take the offer due to this experience.

I’m sorry you feel this way. As per our conversation the day before the trip, I informed you of the weather and sea conditions that were being forecast for the day and said that this can change overnight and we won’t know until we get out there. I informed you of what we would be fishing for and depending on conditions, we might change things up. You agreed.I never guarantee we will catch fish. My first mate asked you if you and your family were okay on the way out, you said yes and we continued out approx. 7 miles to find conditions unfavorable to anchor and bottom fish. One of you was getting sea sick so I made the call to go closer to the beach where the sea would be calmer and troll for kingfish and mackerel and you agreed.We hooked up on two larger jacks. Released them and continued trolling. Fishing was extremely slow and I felt it was best to call the trip at 4 hours rather than troll for two more hours and take your money for the full 6 hours. Other boats were in the area and having the same results. At the dock, as you were boarding the boat, I stated that the wind had picked up from 8 knots to around 15 and the sea conditions might be rough. You had the option to postpone the trip and decided to go. I hope in the future, you will give us the opportunity to get you offshore and on some great fishing.

First time offshore and Capt Chris and First mate Scott were ready to show us what we didn’t know we were missing in our lives. Throwing down a line first at 75 feet brought us a couple of 3ft Amber Jacks and some snapper. Then, the sea calmed and the Caption asked if we wanted to go farther. Hell yeah, said my 88 year old dad. So we did and when we finally stopped, we were at 150+ feet deep. The cobalt blue water was other worldly. Speaking of other worlds, we brought up some beautiful fish, including the pictured amber jack. It was an adventure made better by very experienced and capable people. They are all business to get you on fish!

Thank you for choosing us, you guys were awesome and made the trip fun for us!!!
An exceptional day fishing in the gulf. As you can see we brought home some nice filets (30 lb King Mackeral, several delicious snapper, and a porgi). Great action including “ones that got away”... multiple grouper just under the 20” limit. Additionally, we hooked big amber jack, what we think was about an 8 foot shark, and what we believe was a Goliath grouper. We fought these bad boys for a long time, but they either broke the line or bent the hook and escaped. This was thrilling.
You’ll love Captain Chris. Scott was an outstanding first mate and took care of everything we needed to ensure we caught lots of fish. Very knowledgeable and kept us tangle free.
Book with these guys and You’ll be happy!
