Captain Aaron and his crew consistently earn praise for putting anglers on fish and working tirelessly throughout the trip. The deckhands, particularly Nick, Moose, Steve, and Austin, get frequent shoutouts for being helpful, welcoming, and making people feel like they're on a private charter rather than a party boat. Many reviewers mention catching limits, with the crew providing solid instructions on where to fish at each stop. The boat itself stands out for being clean and even having WiFi onboard. A few operational issues pop up in the reviews worth noting. Some anglers felt trips ran significantly longer than scheduled due to trolling at the end (which only certain passengers could participate in), and there are occasional complaints about the captain moving spots too frequently before fish could really bite. A handful of reviewers also mentioned the boat feeling overcrowded or encountering unhelpful crew members, though these experiences seem to be outliers. The cleaning fees and strong tipping requests at the end rubbed a couple people the wrong way. Overall though, most anglers have excellent experiences and report coming back multiple times, with the crew's attentiveness and fish-finding abilities being the clear highlights.
We chose Sweet Jody's at the recommendation of another local charter. The captain and crew were amazing, very knowledgeable, and were the perfect fit for my husband and son on their first ocean fishing experience. They had so much fun and caught some delicious red snapper. Highly recommend Sweet Jody's to anyone regardless of experience level.
