Shark fishing is the clear star of the show here, with families consistently pulling in blacktips, bonnetheads, stingrays, and the occasional massive surprise catch. Captain Jennifer and first mate Ricky on the Ricochet draw especially glowing praise, with guests highlighting their patience, knowledge, and genuine care for making sure every person on board catches something. Captain Jack also earns plenty of love for his easygoing style and knack for finding fish. A few reviews do flag some concerns worth noting. One offshore group charter experience stood out as disappointing, with complaints about staying anchored in a single unproductive spot and a captain who was largely absent from the group. There have also been isolated mentions of rough rides and seasickness on longer trips. These seem tied to specific trip types rather than the operation as a whole, but if you or your group are prone to motion sickness, it's worth asking about conditions and trip length before booking. For families especially, the inshore shark and fishing excursions come across as a genuine hit. Crews are described as kid-friendly, educational, and willing to put in the extra effort to make the day memorable. The experiences on the Ricochet and the Hobo are hard to fault based on what most guests report.
Such an awesome trip! Caught a 4 1/2 foot Bull Shark and several others! My 3, 6, and 8 year old were throughly entertained and it was just long enough. Great time- kind mother son duo that hosted us!
