Captain Nick stands out as someone who genuinely knows these waters and works hard to put his guests on fish. Reviewers consistently praise his expertise, pointing to successful catches of mahi mahi, wahoo, blackfin tuna, and snapper across different types of trips. His communication is excellent, particularly around weather changes, and he's built a loyal following with anglers returning multiple times over the years. The boat is described as clean and well-equipped, and his flexibility shines through in stories of him adjusting schedules to ensure better conditions. Families appreciate his patience with kids, with several reviews highlighting how Captain Nick made first-time fishing experiences memorable for young anglers. That said, a couple of parents felt he seemed less engaged or annoyed during their trips, particularly after long charters the day before. Captain Joe also guides for the operation and receives glowing feedback for his teaching style and personable nature. Overall, guests feel they're getting a professional operation with captains who care about delivering a quality day on the water.
Epic Day on the Water with Captain Nick! Hands down, one of the best fishing charters we’ve ever been on! Captain Nick was outstanding, knowledgeable, professional, and just genuinely great person to spend the day with. We had non-stop action and ended up landing mahi mahi, blackfin tuna, and even a wahoo! The spots Nick took us to were on fire, and you could tell he really knows the water. The boat was super clean and well-stocked with quality gear, and everything was set up to make the day smooth and enjoyable. Whether you're a seasoned angler or just out for a fun experience, this charter is a must. Can’t wait to go back out with Captain Nick again. This is my 3rd charter trip with him and he never fells to meet the expectations! Highly recommend!
