Owner and crew of the boat was awesome. They were lots of fun, hands on, and helpful throughout the entire excursion. Boat conveniently had guest bathrooms and cold water. Would def return and recommend. The other participants had lots of fun as well. The company provides a punch card to get the 6th visit for free.

Best crew ever, Capt Will, and Mike and Mikey!! First time and I would do it everytime I visit if I would have this crew. The experience was completely unreal and so much fun!!! The crew was top-notch and would recommend requesting them. They went out of their way to make it fun and successful. Shoutout to the crew of Capt, Will, Mike and Mikey.

Fort Lauderdale Fishing

Penelope_C, Aug 2026
We were thrilled with the service. Ashley did a great job maneuvering the boat to different areas for fish. The 3 mates Jonah, Josh & Jessie were very helpful, friendly and educated everyone on the various types of fish caught. During the cruise part, they dutifully would mark everyone's individual fish. Afterwards a thorough job of cleaning and filleting the fish on the dock commenced for free. It was delightful! Adults and children had a blast feeding the tarpin with the leftovers!! When my husband and I returned to the condo, we seasoned and fried the "grunts" we caught. Delicious dinner...we recommend this tour to everyone!!

Great way to start a fun day!

Great time smiles from ear to ear on my kids faces

Great time smiles from ear to ear on my kids faces. My daughter (10) caught 2 small sharks and a yellow fin jack. My son 17 caught several fish, and I did as well. Great crew and captain.

We Came, We Caught, We Cooked

AnnMarie_C, Jul 2026
Josh and Christina on the 8:30am tour were the best!!! When I tell you I don’t know what I’m doing out at sea, I mean I know nothing. The things we do for our kids…..Josh and Christina untangled my line, unhooked the line from snagged rocks, helped bait my hooks, chummed the waters and we all caught something to take home and cook. The crew celebrated all our wins and the captain worked real hard moving us around to keep us on the fish. The tour was so good we did it twice.

Great memories

Stephanie_B, Jul 2026
Josh and Christina made our fishing trip extra special. Us along with are grandsons had an amazing time. Thank you for a great experience.

Good for families!

Jennifer_I, Jul 2026
Great time. Was good for kids too! Large fishing boat was not the prettiest on the water, but had a nice large indoor space with AC and plenty of room and seats around decks. Boat went plenty fast and they took us to several different spots to fish

You get what you pay for

Jaime_C, Jul 2026
I think that there’s too many people on this charter, you have very little room to move around and the lines are always tangling up because the lines are so close to one another. The boat does not go far and nobody catches big fish at all. Also it clearly states to show up 30 minutes prior but there’s always people that show up late, the boat should leave on time and not wait , it’s not fair to the ones that were there on time. You get a little tub of squid for bait, then halfway thru you get a very small portion of sardines but that’s all. Don’t expect to catch big fish.

It was a great time me...

Justin_M, Jul 2026
It was a great time me and my wife bouth caught fish would do it again just wish the boat was a little less packed

Great fishing trip

Jeremy_T, Jul 2026

Minor boat problems before we left and left late. Got on a different boat and smooth sailing after that. Since we left late we came back late. The captain was great and made sure we got what we paid for. The deck hands were fantastic and came around to help when we got a fish and gave tips. They cleaned the fish we caught, a little over 1 lb. We took it to Southport raw bar to finish with wonderful food. We all caught fish and enjoyed ourselves.

Catch my drift

Brandi_S, Jun 2026
Boat was great and caught quite a bit smaller fish. Fishing tour guides were great! Assisted with any question/need we had. Josh was fun!

Sea sick

Tamara_M, Jun 2026
People should know that this boat doesn't travel smoothly through the water. Even when anchored during fishing, the boat rocked back and forth. You will get very nauseated and possibly throw up. This was acknowledged by the staff as they told us where to vomit while on the ship. (into the ocean) Remember to take your own water and snacks - there is nothing available on board. Other than the nausea, this was a great adventure.

Great experience

Kylene_H, Jun 2026
I cannot recommend this enough!!! We had captain Mike, Josh, and Kristina for our tour and they were fabulous. We had our two boys with us (age 6 and 10) and they were so good with them. This was our first time out fishing on the ocean and we loved it. We will absolutely be doing this again when we visit again!

Cool

Gregory_L, May 2026
It was okay but no fish it could have been a little longer and more people could have caught some fish but overall I still have a nice time

Fun

Cuprian_T, May 2026
Great experience, everyone was polite and friendly. Unique experience for me and my family. Everything was according with the plan.

Friendly guides who...

Jennifer_G, May 2026
Friendly guides who helped with everything. We even got to feed the pelican who hung out on the boat.

Fantastic Experience!!

Becki_T, Apr 2026
This experience was relaxing, exciting, and very well organized! Listen to the mate, crew members, and guides. Fish were caught left and right. It was a wonderful experience. AND THE FISH!! THEY WERE BIG!!!

Fun morning out on the water

Dan_L, Apr 2026
Although we didn't catch anything, we had a fun time out on the water. The crew were fun and engaged with us. The fish weren't bitting much but whenever someone caught something they would make sure everyone got to see it. They particularly made sure any kids on the ship got to help with reeling in a fish.

Lots of fun for adults...

Pat_S, Apr 2026
Lots of fun for adults and kids. Crew was very accommodating and helpful. Would definitely do it another time.

Will and David handled our private charter. They’re great!

nrennillo, Apr 2026
The group charters don't cancel. If you're not good in rough water, be mindful of weather conditions. Also, you should consider booking a private charter so you can decide if you or your group wants to return to port.

Such a fun experience!!...

Jessica_P, Mar 2026
Such a fun experience!! Full boat of 40 people, but a lot of us caught multiple fish. The crew was amazing!

Fun

Mirasol_H, Mar 2026
