Cowboy Charters consistently earns high praise from anglers of all skill levels, with families, first-timers, and seasoned fishers all walking away with great stories. The crew, particularly Captain Hans, Captain Sam, and Mate Larry, come up repeatedly in reviews for their knowledge of local waters, strong work ethic, and ability to put people on fish. Mahi-mahi, sailfish, grouper, mutton snapper, and tarpon are among the catches mentioned, and the crew cleans the fish for you before you head home. The atmosphere on board sounds genuinely fun and low-pressure. Beginners consistently mention feeling comfortable and well-coached, while experienced anglers appreciate the more technical challenge. Trips range from 4 to 8 hours, and the general consensus is that the crew stays focused and engaged throughout. One reviewer noted a skunked trip, a reminder that fishing is never guaranteed, but that experience stands out as the clear exception among an otherwise enthusiastic crowd. Most people leave already planning a return visit.
Great time and people will definitely be back. Also Talon was a excellent first mate!
