The kids said it was the best trip EVER! Danielle Carlisle2021-06-26Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Nice, clean boat. Captain Jason and his mates (Zach and Luke) were awesome! We had a party of 15 and everyone caught a fish! We caught our limit of red snapper, even a grouper. On the way back trolling we caught some king mackerel. Good eating! We even booked last minute and Captain Jason was a pleasure to work with! Ryan2021-05-19Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I did a day deep sea fishing trip with some friends - they were great. Nice, clean boat and crew took good care of us. Left with Mahi, Mackerel, and 6 nice Amberjack (which was the limit). Some reviews talked about being close to shore - seems like your target fish is going to dictate where you go. We were offered several options depending on how far we wanted to go out and what we wanted to catch. How We Get Reviews2021-05-19Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Great fishing trip, perfect weather, music and company. Private or public, they'll handle everything. Michele Ellis2021-05-19Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Wonderful day fishing on the “Finest Kind”. Captain Jason, Zack and John were a great bunch to fish with. Those guys worked super hard for us to have the best experience! Rough seas today but was worth it for sure! Bridgett Shortridge2021-02-02Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Captain Jason and First Mate Zach was absolutely amazing!! He found us all kinds of fish every time we dropped the line we had a fish. Very friendly and the boat was amazing as well. Would recommend using them and we will be back.
