We have visited St. George Island for many years and this is the first time we went on the airboat…read morecruise. We did see an alligator, but the views and the history shared by Captain Cook were worth the tour even if we didn't see any wildlife. My husband and I recommend the airboat tour and plan to make it an annual tradition. Captain Cook makes the tour fun but the swamp views are worth the trip even if the alligators are hiding. Tip: if you are in the front row on the airboat I would recommend not wearing lipgloss....everything sticks!

Was a great day & again, for our first time out in the gulf here the guys were helpful & made it easy to sort. We will use them again 10/10!

Captain Charles is a national treasure as far as I'm concerned. He hails from a long line of…read morefisherman, he's a Vietnam vet, he is an amazing story teller, and he is a master at his trade. I have had the privilege of being a guest on his fishing vessel quite a few times over the last few years, and he has amazed me with his personality, know how, and his ability to make you comfortable enough to always have a great time. It's pretty comical as numerous guides call Charles while he is on the water to get fishing tips and locations to go to! In his laid back and gentlemanly demeanor, he kindly helps them, as I'm sure he has done many times over the years. He has yet to disappoint, and I can't remember a time that he hasn't put us on the fish. It seems like I have caught a thousand fish off of this man's boat! Be smart, and use Charles if you are fishing St. George Island, Apalachiacola, or anywhere close. This gentleman is the real deal!

Captain Todd Young is by far the best captain I have charters with. I have been fishing with him…read morefor 8+ years. When I have visitors from other countries I call Todd for a fishing charter so that they can have the best experience! he is great with kids too! on the toughest days he has worked hard to put us on fish - I have never been disappointed!

If listening to Capt. John's charmingly thick southern drawl isn't great enough, fishing with him…read moreis truly a wonderful experience! Being a "boat-phobe" myself, he really makes me feel at ease and comfortable. My husband enjoys fishing, especially when he catches fish! And we always catch fish when we go fishing with Capt. John. He gets the kids involved too. They've really enjoyed fishing and picking up shells when we've stopped at the different beaches during our trips. Bottom Line: Our family will definitely be fishing with Capt. John for years to come!

We wanted a lot of local information and someone personable. We weren't interested in a big boat with a lot of folks, so it was just us and Gill.

It was a great time and we'd go back and do it again. 4 Hours may seem like a long time, but it flew by like an hour-there was so much to see and information to process. Good price, good man, good boat. This is a "Don't Miss" when you're in or nearby Apalach.

Three friends and I took a trip with Captain Larry. It was an hour trip through the swamplands of…read moreApalachicola and well worth the money. Word of caution, the embarking location is different from the 479 Market St address. We made the mistake of going to that address to meet Captain Larry. The actual meeting place was really under the bridge off of Water St. (Just be sure to confirm meeting location when you make your reservation.) The trip was quite interesting, as Captain Larry speeds through the swamp land. You truly get to experience and see nature, untouched by man. It's quite the estuary. Captain Larry even stopped along the way for us to just sit and observe the surroundings and share fun facts. We got to see an eagle, an alligator and other birds during the trip. For my first airboat ride, I thoroughly enjoyed it. Would I recommend? Yes.

The captain and the deckhand(who was much more than that) run a great fishing operation. We…read morecaught bait quickly and efficiently and then off to fish for grouper. The captain moved often if the spot was not productive. The deckhand was never asked to do anything. He knew what to do and did it well. When we all hooked up, the captain took off fish and baited as well. We caught a limit of grouper, caught and released some snapper, some others I cannot recall the types, and of course the sharks. I have been out on a number of trips and this was my best overall trip. I will be back and it is a long way from Texas.
