The walk to the boat was short. The crew brought us to 4 different spots to maximize opportunities to catch fish. The guys were very helpful and patient with the folks fishing. We caught lady fish and mangrove snappers. It was a great experience. We would do it again.

We had a full boat but captain Chris and Kenny worked hard the entire time ensuring everyone had a great time! Lots of fish were caught, dolphins were hanging around a lot and very close, the crew was excellent with kids, especially my youngest daughter at 6 years old. Both my 6&9 yr old girls had fun!

Very enjoyable! Captain Adam was great! I had never been fishing in the ocean so I was happy with our catches- even though they were little! Met all of our expectations!

My husband and son went out for the half-day trip and had a great time fishing. They caught a few and enjoyed traveling around in the back bays and the guide they had that afternoon.

Great experience for our 10 yr old grandson. Such patience by the crew in assisting children. Having only 7 passengers was just perfect

Solid experience with friendly, knowledgeable, and engaged guides. The boat was a bit dated without much shade.

What a great experience!!! Captain Dan and Katie were both amazing, funny, and very knowledgeable! A great trip! Would recommend and will be doing this again on our next visit to Naples!
Joel_S, Jan 2024
Nearly everyone caught at least one fish, and many caught several. Everyone was super nice, it was a calm easy boat ride, recommended!
George_S, Nov 2023
The captain and the mate were both extremely helpful and attentive, even with about 16 people on the boat.
Steven_R, Apr 2023
Everything was great on the trip, from the moment leaving the dock to returning! The Capt and crew member "Paul" took care of everything and everyone. They were friendly professional, positive and enjoyed the group. My wife caught a shark and we tried different places from out on the gulf to some of the "calm" areas in the mangroves. I would recommend this tour to anyone who want to enjoy a great time without too many other folks on the very comfortable boat! Kudos! Dr Steve Roth
Michael_F, Apr 2023
Not particularly memorable. Too many folks on board-lines continuously getting tangled. Folks on side facing bay caught many more fish-should have alternated sides.
Stacy_L, Sep 2022

Getting off the boat
Advertised as a fishing trip.
Was more of a guppy trip. Virtually no chance to catch a keeper.
Barbara_H, Jul 2021
Had a great time caught lots of fish. Even got to go out in the Gulf. Crew was very helpful and cleaned all our fish and had them for supper.
Eric_H, Jul 2021
It was a great experience for our family. It was our 8 and 10 year old’s first fishing trip experience. The crew (Captain Marty and Megan) were outstanding and attentive to everyone onboard. They took time to talk to everyone and help out the kids. They took us into the gulf because it was calm seas then back to the inlet bay. The 3.5 hour trip was a perfect duration for a family. I would do this excursion again!
Jane_P, Jun 2021
Was a great day. We're able to go into gulf for better fishing. Captain and 1st mate were excellent and made the trip more fun. Great day.
