Quick trip on September 4, 2024

The Captain was great and took us where the fish were biting constantly. Big Al was fun, made us feel like family and helped out with the kids and non-fisherman in our group. Caught a great variety of fish and the non-fisherman caught a giant Red fish!! Al pointed out dolphins and manatees for the kids to see. Very knowledgeable of the wildlife and a great personality. We will be back next for sure…..this will be our new family tradition to go fishing with Big Al. Thanks for helping make some great family memories. ❤️Thanks again and we appreciate you!!!

2 hour fishing trip on January 4, 2025

Big Al was awesome! He is amazing with kids and knows where the fish are! He was kind and friendly, and it honestly felt like we were on a boat with someone we had known for ages. Super fun guy to be around! Thank you Big Al, for a great afternoon and being so patient and helpful with our kids. We caught so many fish I lost count! Happy New Year!

6 Hour Trip on July 3, 2024

If you want to feel like you made a great decision with how you spend your $, Al is your guy. Let’s be honest, there is nothing “cheap” about chartering a boat and our time is our most precious commodity. With that said Al made my son and I feel that he was going to do everything he could with things he could control to give us a great experience. We caught tons of fish! We also battled a couple of big ones and had tons of laughs. Al really focused on my son, showing him how all the gear, technology, and everything related works together. Most importantly, we had fun and pictures to prove it. Thanks Al!

4 Hour Trip (AM) on June 27, 2024

This was our second trip with Big Al and it was as enjoyable as our first one back in June 2023. He was waiting for us when we arrived. Once we were on board, we were off and running. When we started, there was a weather front in the distance and he immediately set a course to avoid it. We stayed high and dry our entire trip. We went to several locations to fish and consistently caught them throughout our trip. Big Al was especially mindful for our youngest anglers and they had a great time. His boat ran well and the rods and bait he provided were more than what we expected. I highly recommend Big Al for fishing in the Daytona Beach area.

Big Al was great. Very accommodating even in less than ideal conditions he did all he could to ensure we had fun which we did. His knowledge and advice was great for a couple of amateur anglers. My son and I had fun and would go again off in the area.
