    Captain Brandon was an awesome fishing guide! We have a 7 & 8 year and they have always wanted to catch a shark when we take fishing excursions. So this time I booked with Captain Brandon just for that reason. We landed some great bull sharks and had a great time. Capt. Brandon was also amazing with our kids. Since there is some waiting involved when fishing for sharks, he made the time enjoyable by being so engaged with our kids which I know they appreciated. I would highly recommend Capt. Brandon as a fishing guide and plan to book with him again.

    The fishing charter with Captain Phil was the highlight of our trip to Florida this year! Phil and his first mate were very helpful and friendly throughout our 4 hrs trip. They made sure my 9 year old son had the best spot on the boat and were eager to help him land a few fish. Captain Phil helped us land a couple big fish and filleted our Cobia which gave us some tasty supper. We would definitely use Captain Phil again.

    We had so much fun with captain joe on our deep sea fishing trip! We have been on a few different deep sea fishing trips but this was by far the best experience we have had! They took us to a couple different spots that were all very successful and we had a blast catching a 200 lb Goliath grouper. Would definitely go with them again!

    We had a great day fishing offshore with Joseph (Joey) and his first mate Felix. It was a dad and lads trip for me and my two boys Joel 13 and Blake 11. Joel very keen to go, Blake not sure what to expect. They both had the time of their lives. We had a truly memorable day that will last a lifetime. From minute of booking and confirmation the service was 5 stars. The boat was immaculate and comfortable. Joey ensured our welfare was cared for with ice cold waters on board and sun lotion. We came away with catching plenty of fish in good sizes and also have a story of the big one that got away. We will 100% book again and recommend Joseph as your captain. What a great day fishing Wayne, England, Uk

  • ★★★★★
    Phil is a great Captain as well as his First Mate Tim! Interesting to watch them get the live bait right out of the Gulf before we headed out 12 miles offshore to fish. Phil put us right on the fish and we were literally reading in different species of fish the whole time. They were very patient if with our experience level and tried to make sure we were catching something that was fun to fight as well as good to eat. Great playlist of tunes on the boat as well! Highly recommend and will fish with Phil again!
