Captain Mike and his crew, including first mate Anthony, have built a solid reputation for putting people on fish while keeping the atmosphere fun and relaxed. Anthony in particular gets called out constantly for his knowledge, humor, and knack for making everyone feel at home on the water. The boat itself is consistently described as clean and well-maintained, and the crew handles rough conditions with confidence, making safety-conscious decisions when the weather doesn't cooperate. Beyond fishing, there's also a nighttime cruise experience that reviewers describe as lively and festive, complete with music and a great sunset backdrop. Families with younger kids have had good times here, though it's worth knowing that the setup keeps beginners and experienced anglers somewhat separated, and bait and concessions aren't provided onboard, so come prepared. One or two reviewers found certain crew interactions a bit unwelcoming, though the overwhelming majority describe the opposite experience. For the price, this is a genuinely enjoyable trip whether the fish cooperate or not. Regulars keep coming back year after year, which says a lot.
We had such a great time on the Starfish Charter Boat! The captain and our crew mate Anthony were awesome! Very friendly, helpful, and made sure everyone was having a good time. They really knew where to find the fish, and we stayed busy throughout the trip. The boat was clean and comfortable, and Anthony was always there to help if you needed anything. He made the whole experience easy and fun, whether you’ve been fishing for years or it was your first time. I’d definitely recommend Starfish Charter Boat to anyone looking for a fun day on the water. We can’t wait to book another trip. 😎
