We enjoyed our fishing trip! Jason was a great captain, answered all of our questions. So exciting to see the dolphins play in the waves behind our boat. Everyone caught multiple fish and a sting ray(even though it broke the line just as it got to the surface)! We will definitely book a trip again when we come back!

Fantastic!

Courtney_B, Jun 2026
We saw dolphins multiple times, found great shells, caught 5 different types of fish, and a shark!! I think Cole was our guide (I'm horrible with remembering names). He was amazing with our kids and very patient. Our group was Grammy, myself and husband, and our 3 kids (7, 10 and 10 years old).

Kevin was great! It was...

Kevin was great! It was my husband, 2 kids (8&9) and myself. We saw dolphins up close, we fished and Kevin even got my 9yr old daughter to try and enjoy fishing! He told my 8yr old he’d try and get him to catch a shark and he did just that! We found a lot of nice intact shells to bring home. We would absolutely take another trip with Kevin.

Great overall experience....

Great overall experience. Our guide Jason was great and we got to see dolphins swimming right behind our boat, go shelling on an island and went fishing where we caught several fish. Family had a great time and would do it again!

Perfect day on the water

Trent_J, Oct 2025
This was the perfect charter for myself and two daughters 12 abd 15 and get everything into one trip. From the shelling to the pod of dolphin putting on a show behind the boat and capped off with my daughter’s catching their first Shark. This is the perfect charter, and all around amazing day on the water!

Amazing fun- must do

We had such a wonderful time! Jason made sure our entire experience was fabulous. He took us to a beautiful island filled with incredible shells — the kids had a blast collecting stunning fighting conch shells. We were even lucky enough to spot an alligator out in the ocean and a lone dolphin swimming by! Fishing started off slow, with several missed spots, but eventually, all three kids caught two fish each — including a bonnethead shark! It was an unforgettable experience, and Jason went above and beyond to make sure we had fun every step of the way.

We had an awesome day with Jason out shelling and absolutely crushed it on the fishing after. Both my kids had a great time and asked when we can go out again.

Perfect day on the water with Cptn. Jason

Andrew_B, Jun 2025
Amazing day on the water with Captain Jason. He put us on amazing fish. Saw turtles, sharks, and incredible dolphin experience. Shelling on Lice was incredible. Highly recommend.

Captain Jason Gave Good Tour

Mary_S, May 2025
Captain Jason was awesome. Spotted dolphins and got them to follow the boat. Went shelling and fishing. Highly recommend!

Family Boat Day!

ElisaAppelbaum, Apr 2025
We had such an amazing time on our morning boat trip with Jason! Plenty of time for shelling with my husband, adult children and two granddaughters, after a smooth ride over to Kice Island. We had a few dolphin sightings along the way, which made our granddaughters' day. After shelling, we stopped for an hour or so to fish. Our seven year old granddaughter had the catch of the day--a 25-30# sting ray! Highly recommend a day with Captain Jason for an all inclusive tour (and the Crabby Lady for lunch, on our own) afterward.

Fog relief

Evelyn_R, Apr 2025
The weather was questionable, very foggy. He was very honest from the start. It ended up being a great day! We saw dolphins and diffferent type of birds. We enjoying shelling. Then had a friendly competition fishing. There were 6 of us, 13 & 15yo, as well as 69 & 74 yo grandmas. My husband caught a nice size trout that captain Jason filleted and placed on ice for us. It was a great memorable trip. Thank you so much captain Jason!

It is a perfect trip

Rebecca_B, Jan 2025
This four hour trip was the perfect amount of time to sail through 10,000 islands, see dolphins, go shelling and fish

Perfect excursion!

Leslie_R, Jul 2024
We had a wonderful time! We saw alligators, manatees, had beach time and fished. Captain Jason had everything you could think of to make the experience great! We loved the beach time with the aqua mat and sand toys he provided. Fishing was great! The guys caught 3 shark and several other fish. Would highly recommend this excursion! Will definitely book again when we are in the area!

Wonderful experience

Anna_M, Apr 2024
What a wonderful addition to our vacation! The Captain truly was awesome and gave us the best experience. Loved everything from the alligator and manatee sightings to the private beach and the fishing. Would go again! Definitely recommend!
