Captain Mike and his crew, especially mate Anthony, consistently earn praise for their friendly professionalism and ability to put customers on fish. The boat stays impressively clean, and the team knows how to make even challenging conditions work, whether navigating rough seas or finding action on slower fishing days. First-timers particularly appreciate how welcoming the crew makes them feel, while regulars keep coming back year after year for the relaxed, family-like atmosphere. The fishing experiences seem to vary by conditions rather than effort. Some days deliver keeper after keeper, while others offer plenty of action without much to take home. Most customers understand that's just fishing. A few reviews mention the crew can occasionally come across as annoyed, particularly when dealing with larger crowds or less experienced anglers, though this doesn't seem to be the norm. Worth noting: they don't sell food or drinks onboard, so grab what you need before boarding. The combination of reasonable pricing, knowledgeable crew, and consistent effort to find fish makes this a solid choice for both beginners looking to learn and experienced anglers seeking a good day on the water.
Mate was helpful and attentative. Captain was great and made sure boat was running great and made sure everyone was safe. We went out for half day fishing on a windy day, seas were a little rougher than originally anticipated, seas got rougher and captain had to head back to dock rather than risk any mishap. Everyone was offered half off next trip and some fish were caught in tough conditions. Easy to book trip and prices were reasonable. Boat was clean. Thanks.
