3 Hours - Bay Fishing (10:30AM) on August 4, 2024

Vince and Philomena were great! Our primary goal was to hook fish, hoping we’d be able to bring some home to eat. We pulled up 18 flounder, and even though we didn’t catch any big enough to keep, they made the whole fishing experience fun and fulfilling. They taught us about the kinds of fish than can be caught bayside, the types of boats that are best for fishing, and what music not to listen to while fishing for flounder. We will definitely reach out to them next time we come to OC. Fish on!

12PM-4PM - Ocean Fishing (4 hours) on June 21, 2024

Vince and his first mate were absolutely wonderful. My 16 year old son and I had an unforgettable experience fishing for Seabass. Vince took us to the fishing grounds and I caught our first keeper on the first cast within 1 minute of fishing. As a Captain he is safe, on time, friendly, knowledgeable, and selfless. We were in deteriorating winds and the moment I told Vince I was starting to feel sea sick he took me in to calmer waters and we enjoyed blue fish and flounder fishing for the rest of our charter. He offered small stacks and water and always made sure we were having a great “experience”. Highly recommend! Thanks again Vince and Philimena!!!

Granddaughters first fishing trip

VERIFIED

3 Hours - Bay Fishing (7:00AM) on June 23, 2024

Capt. Vince was awesome, as well as his mate. This was my Granddaughters 1st fishing trip, as well as her graduation present. With the possibility of bad weather, Vince was upfront, and came up with options. Lucky for everyone the weather man was wrong, we hit the water at 7am and had a great time, caught close to 10 short flounders, and a keeper rockfish. We got to see dolphins, many different birds, and a turtle. A very good day had by all. And yes my granddaughter caught the most fish. we will be back next year. Jim and Jozzy

2 Hours - Sunset Cruise (5:00PM) on July 23, 2024

This was our first saltwater fishing trip and Captain Vince and Veronica made it wonderful. He worked very hard to ensure my son caught a fish. The weather was a bit inclement and it was a tough day but was still an incredible experience. We caught some flounder and we will be back next year!

My wife and I brought our 4 kids (ages 4, 6, 8, 10) out with captain Vince for morning trip. We were catching flounder within a few minutes and that was the same at every spot captain Vince took us. Our kids had an amazing time and we will definitely be booking another trip soon!
