Captain Vinny was very responsive prior to our inquiries. It was a beautiful day for a boat ride and fishing on the YB Normal, a no-frills water craft. Cpt V was up front that the fishing is spotty in January, but we came away with more than enough blackfin tuna for several meals. We took the steaks that Capt V cut up for us over to The Fish Shack for “hook and cook”. Great advice! We learned a lot of fishing techniques from Cpt V and First Mate Elliot. This was the highlight of our Florida trip and a new experience for the family.

My wife and I recently went on a private fishing charter with these guys, and let me tell you, don’t bother booking anywhere else. Vinnie and TJ were awesome! Water was a little rough the day we went out, but they did everything they could to make it happen for us, and still managed to put us on some good fish. TJ, showed us everything we needed to know, and made sure we had all lines in the water at all times to optimize the fishing experience, and not to mention, he did it quickly. When we go back it will be a no brainer repeat booking. Highly recommend this crew if you’re looking for a great experience, and even better people. Thanks guys!

This was an amazing day. When the day started, everyone was pretty quiet, but I think that’s because we were tired, but once that first fish was hooked, so were we. We were amped up and ready to catch more. And we did just that. TJ, the mate, was excellent with helping and answering ALL of our questions. Those two are everything that the other reviews say they are. (I read EVERY review before I booked the trip). I loved every moment of our trip today. We will definitely be back again, but for a 10 hour trip. It was totally worth it.

I had only one major concern when we finished our trip and headed home… And that was “Did we tip them enough?”

Cameron helped us the entire time. Dealing with the rods and reels and bait and answering a lot of our questions about fishing. He was very friendly and patient and knowledgeable.
We were very lucky to be the only customers on the boat so whenever a fish was hooked, we would reel it in. We caught 5 tuna and took one home to eat. Captain Vinny prepared the one fish for us at no charge.
Neither of us got seasick, probably due to the Dramamine. That’s probably the most important thing about going out deep-sea fishing. Take that Dramamine an hour or half-hour before you set sail. The ocean was rough, but it was not a problem for us.

Wow!!  Can not say it enough! This was such a great experience. Don’t think it would have been as fun or memorable if we had any other crew taking us out there. Very personable and comforting. Not gonna lie, I was terrified. But, it became evident that I would be able to place trust within their knowledge, experience, & respect for the ocean. We were not a responsibility they were taking lightly. That was very much appreciated and valued. Adding to fun was the fact that we couldn’t tell who was more excited for us to reel in our catch; them or us!  Thank you so much for a great and very memorable afternoon!!
