EPIC EXPERIENCE. Hurricane madness.
4 Hour Trip – Inshore/Nearshore on September 29, 2024
Where do I start. Captain Ruff is the best charter Captain I ever experienced. The equipment is in great working condition. Easy to use for all levels of fishing experience. His boat is roomy and comfortable. He worked hard to make sure I had the best chance to catch fish. And despite the aftermath of hurricane Helene, he did just that. We released many fish due to being over or under the legal size limit. I could go on. Don't look any further for a charter. Call Captain Ruff. BTW he was raised in the area and his knowledge about the local history made the trip a "combo fishing/historic tour. Cannot wait to book another adventure with Captain Ruff

A Good Day on the Water with Capt. Ruff
4 Hour Trip – Inshore/Nearshore on December 7, 2024
If you are looking for a good day you can't beat Capt. Chris Ruff. He is highly knowledgeable and skilled. He readily shares tips and tricks on fishing and will point out the natural wonders as you ride from spot to spot. You will enjoy his company whether you are a novice or seasoned angler. He knows the area well and we have never come back empty handed. (not a guarantee, it is fishing after-all ) This is because he will pursue the best fishing spot relentlessly. No one will work harder at making sure you catch fish and have fun.

Full Day on the Water
4 Hour Trip – Inshore/Nearshore on September 7, 2024
Capt Chris is one of the most down to earth fishermen I've had the opportunity to go out on a charter with. He is deeply knowledgeable about the technical aspects of fishing and he'll do everyrhing in his power to put you on top of the fish. But he also made me feel very comfortable asking questions and making mistakes. Fishing sometimes comes with lines in trees or hooked on docks. Chris handles it all with a smile and cheer. And when you do finally hook that barely-legal redfish, no one is more excited than Capt Chris.

Inter-coastal with Captain Chris
4 Hour Trip – Inshore/Nearshore on February 15, 2024
I live in the area and when friends or family come to town they always want a fishing trip. We have tried several boat captains over the past three years until we’d found Captain Chris. There is not a more knowledgeable and friendly Captain in the area. Chris is prepared for a day on the water and will not give up or stop after trying a few spots. While riding place to place he’ll tell you what birds you’re seeing - point out the dolphins - explain what the islands are and why each one is important. After a few hours on a boat with Chris you’ll leave with a ton of knowledge, fish in the cooler, and having made a new friend. Chris is really 1 of 1 - you will find no better charter.

Full day trip with Capt Ruff
4 Hour Trip – Inshore/Nearshore on February 10, 2024
Started the day off by showing up at the dock with the boat in the water and ready to go. Capt Ruff told us a lot about the area as we traveled to the first fishing spot. He was able to speak of all types of birds and other animals found out on the water and marsh lands. He had top notch equipment and was very familiar with different ways to catch fish in the area. Talking with him I found out he does a lot of different charters not just fishing. He has a wealth of knowledge to share during his scenic trips, offers sunset cruises, dolphin watching, island trips and much more. I highly recommend booking him for any of your coastal needs.
