Half Day Trip (PM) on June 20, 2024

We spent the day fishing with my sister, my son, and my nephew. I worried that the boys might get bored at times (as 10-year-old boys tend to complain about), but our Captain was awesome. We caught more than a dozen fish, including several large sharks. The boys had so much fun reeling them in. Our captain taught the boys different fishing techniques at several different locations. He also taught the boys how to bait their hooks using different types of bait. He gave us interesting anecdotes about the surrounding area and kept the boys engaged for the whole trip. So much fun. Well worth the money.

Excellent Paul! I wish I could have taken you but I knew you would be in good hands with Rutledge. So glad your kids had a great time and learned some fishing tips. Hope to have you and your family back aboard soon!

Half Day Trip (AM) on November 25, 2024

6 family members went fishing. From 6 to 69 years of age and we all had a blast. Caught plenty of fish to eat for several days. Stopped at several spots. Captain Shane had his dog Amos with us and barked to alert us all of dolphins. Amazing!!! 5 star adventure and highly recommend for any angler from beginner to expert!!!

These guys are great. We’ve been a couple times over the years and Shane is the man. They are awesome every time. If you can get this charter when you’re here, you have too. Highlight of the trip with family is this charter. We will also do this from here on out every vacation! Thanks Shane and Amos(dolphin watcher extraordinaire)

What a phenomenal experience! Captain Robbie was so experienced in finding fish and assisting with baiting, casting and netting the fish. Today was a catch and release day. All six of us caught several fish (multiple species including sharks). Could not have asked for a better experience! Thank you!!!

60th Success

Half Day Trip (AM) on September 24, 2024

Thanks Captain Shane for a fantastic morning of learning and fishing and catching! The girls (ages 5, 8, and 10) couldn’t stop talking about the sharks and fish and crabs! My husband loved his 60th birthday present with his granddaughters and sons.
