Great day out fishing with captain JP and Randy. Really knowledge about the area and made my sons 14th birthday really memorable. Although we didn't catch any big fish he did switch it up with some line fishing and we at least caught a few small sand fish and strawberry groupers. Id definitely recommend this trip to anyone.

Caught a 6ft sailfish

Had a great experience, will be booking again when we are back in this part of the country. Even assisted with picking up at another location due to time change.

Fun fishing trip

Great day on the water. Caught a couple barracuda and then went closer to shore and caught a couple more fish. Weather wasn't great but still a great time.

No fish but a nice time

Steven_C, Feb 2024

Nice crew, not a fish to be had. Just the time of year did not click. No other recommendations for fishing.

Response from Host, Feb 2024

Hi Steven... Very sorry we couldn't deliver on the fish. I am glad to hear the crew, at least, were a positive. I wish we could operate a 'catching' charter but sadly, it's out of our hands. Trust me when I say that none of us are happy about just delivering a boat ride, but somethimes it happens - despite our best efforts. We hope you'll come back again and we can give it another shot...we can only improve from here!

Response from Host, Apr 2022

Dear Roger_B, On behalf of myself and the rest of the crew, thank you for taking the time to share your experience with Coconut Reef. A pity the catch was a bit on the slim side. We'll hook a monster next time for sure. Maybe ;-). Many happy returns to your son. Happy and Safe Travels, The management and crew at Coconut Reef.
