Since this is my first time chartering a boat for fishing,  I can only describe my experience for first timers. If you have kids and you want to take them out on a boat, I’d highly recommend Captain Carlos. He and his first mate Tom, were absolutely amazing! We purchased the 4 hr inshore fishing, because this would be my friend’s son’s first time on a boat and we were not sure how it would go. They absolutely made sure it was all about Blake and knowing that it was for Blake’s 7th birthday, they even played happy birthday on the boat for him. I think without a doubt he caught the most fish. Tom was so knowledgable of the various fish we caught and both Captain Carlos and Tom had a fun infectious attitude. The boat was clean and had plenty of room for us. They made us feel absolutely at home. They were patience with our lack of fishing experiences(the adults)  and just had a grand ole time. I guarantee we won’t be using any other charter the Bottoms Up and will highly recommend to anyone who is interested in going on a charter. Next time I’m in town, hoping we can schedule an offshore charter with him!!
