James took us to 4 different sites. With his kind help and instruction, kids caught 12 big fish in spite of the cold weather. James was courteous and knowledgeable. Boat was spotless and had all necessary equipment.

Lots of small fish

kate_l, Oct 2025

Captain James was cordial and we did catch many small fish. Would have liked to try for bigger fish and maybe something more exciting than ocean trout

Fantastic Family Fun

James put us on fish immediately. We caught so many fish throughout our trip. He kept us entertained and busy. He would bait our hooks, cast for us & release our fish. (He would let us as well when we wanted to!) My son is 6 years old & was happy and busy the entire time. As a family of 4 we all agreed it was the best part of our vacation.

Response from Host, Feb 2025

Thanks Kathy!

Fun in the sun

Catching the fish. James knew exactly where to go on the bay to be successful. He was on time and had everything ready to go the moment we arrived.

Excellent Charter Fishing Trip

Captain James teaching our 2 sons how to fish, catching about 7 types of fish, speeding to 4/5 different fishing spots on his lovely fast boat.

Wonderful fishing trip for family!

Captain James is the guide to go with!

Anissa_D, Mar 2022

Caught a variety of fish and James was awesome at being attentive to making a great fishing experience for us! We couldn’t have asked for a better day or guide.

Caught our limit

Chris_B, Jun 2021

My wife and I took 4 hr inshore excursion. Weather wasn’t great but the fish didn’t care. Both of us caught our limit of red snapper with a few grouper as a bonus. Wish we had done it earlier in the week so we could have booked again.
