Trip of a lifetime
Hands down the best salt water charter there is!
We caught fish all day long. And had an amazing captain and deck hand! If you're trying to have a good time, these guys are the ones to go with.
Captain Jeff knows exactly what's going on and they're even better people!

Would definitely recommend this trip, hell I know we will be back.

Highly Recommend!!!!
Captain Jeff and Jon were absolutely fabulous.
We had a family emergency and had to cancel our trip, but ended up coming back down to the beach a few days later and without hesitation they made sure we were able to get rescheduled. We had 4 kids under the age of 11 and they were so patient with them. The boys caught multiple types of fish and he made sure to have the lines always in the water either trolling or bottom fishing. Highly recommend booking with these guys. Very personable, communicative and they make sure you have a great time!
