This review is for their Wine & Cheese sunset cruise. Don't pay the extra $25 for it. Since they do…read morethis only once a month, they don't really have the wines stocked. I think there was only one bottle of pinot noir and the other red was a cabernet. The charcuterie was a little clear box of mostly crackers, 2 pieces of meat, dirty grapes and little cubes of cheese. Not as pictured online. What I suggest instead is to go on the boat for their dolphin watch or sunset dolphin watch. The staff are nice, captain is friendly and knowledgeable and the cruise is quite enjoyable with shade and seating, but if it was fuller, I can understand why it would be hard to have to stand for 1.5 hours. They suggest that you show up 1 hour before, I guess people are often late, if you're coming from the other side of the ferry. If you're already on Port A, arrive 20 minutes before so you're not waiting to board outside in the heat. Parking is behind the gas station, cross the streets and check in. Also if you do the cruise the same time the pirate ship goes out, 6 people can shoot water hoses at the boat as you pass by, kinda fun for the kids on board.

We went to 3 different spots. I wish we could have switched to try some sharks but I think they were waiting to max out on snappers and there were a few people not catching anything so we never did. Overall we had a super fun trip. We went back last weekend with my husband, son, and daughter. No one else had signed up for the 8hr trip so we got bumped to the 4hr. We were a little disappointed but I guess you can't control those types of things. Headed out about an hour. As soon as we dropped our lines me and my son's gf hooked bonnethead sharks! After that my hubby, and daughter caught one each. We hooked some bait fish and my hubby hooked a Mangrove Snapper. Only my son didn't catch anything. We all still really enjoyed ourselves! We can't wait to plan another trip! Both trips, all the guys were super nice and helpful. Sometimes you have to wait a bit if everyone's catching at the same time, but they try to get to you as fast as possible to unhook your fish and rehook your line if it snapped. Thanks for making both trips extremely enjoyable!!! We'll be back!

At each location the captain( overweight dude w long ponytail) kept drifting and couldn't stay on top of the fish which I believe resulted in us not catching very many fish. At one point as I was lying down in the passenger area as we were heading back I saw the captain run down into the men's restroom twice leaving no one in the wheelhouse as the boat was running! That's what a milk jug is for! Gonna try Fisherman's Wharf next time. As you can see in the video provided the fish was very slim pickings due to the captains inability to stay on top of the fish! He kept drifting!

Fishing guide urinated off the side of the boat twice. He didn't have shrimp as bait because he was allergic. I would not recommend this charter. Pick another.

Their boats and pricing also seemed very reasonable compared to others. They also have one of the best cancel policies I found out of Port Arkansas. As long as you cancel two weeks before your trip, no questions asked full refund.

It was a nice boat with an air conditioned place to rest. They provided everything including bait and snacks and sandwiches and drinks. They were very friendly and made it feel like you were out with friends showing you how to fish. The only negatives were that I had underestimated how long we would have to spend traveling to and from the fishing spots. We didn't seem to spend an awful lot of the 6 hours actually fishing. And my oldest son had a big one on the trolling line and it broke the line. He felt like he needed more instruction on what to do. But that's ok. We got our limit on snapper and everyone got to catch something.
