Wear soft rubber-soled shoes. Bring long clothes for sun protection and a jacket in case it gets cool (mainly fall and winter). Polarized sunglasses and a hat or visor are also recommended.
No. Tanning oils and other oil-based lotions are not allowed on the boats; use water-based sunscreen instead.
Captain Billy is the name you'll see come up again and again in these reviews, and for good reason. He has a loyal following, with multiple guests returning years later and noting he put them on fish just as well the second time around. First mate AJ gets almost as much praise, consistently described as knowledgeable, personable, and genuinely invested in making sure everyone on board has a great time. The crews adapt when conditions get tough, switching techniques or targeting different species rather than just grinding out a slow bite. Beyond the fishing itself, small details set this charter apart. Mates have been known to prepare fresh sashimi on the boat, fillet your catch before you hit the dock, and point you toward local restaurants that will cook it up that night. The boats are kept clean and well-maintained, and the booking process is smooth with confirmation calls the day before. The handful of captains and mates mentioned across reviews all seem to carry the same professional, friendly approach, so you are in good hands regardless of who takes you out.
Absolutely amazing experience. Took the kids for their first charter fishing experience and it did not disappoint. Ended up with a nice haul and some amazing memories. Captain and mate were both absolutely fantastic and put all of us on multiple mahi.
