    After returning to sure the guys take the fish, clean them and distribute me to whoever would like it.

    Oh my goodness! What an experience! My son, my friend and I decided to go on a evening deep sea fishing tour for sharks. I had no idea what to expect. It was more than I could ever have imagined! I think overall we caught about 10 sharks and several other types of fish. The guys Helping us were incredible! They taught us all how to bait hooks and how to fish. My son caught a 6 foot, yes, that is correct a 6 foot shark. They helped the kids catch a shark and paid special attention to a soon to be married couple. We had an absolutely incredible time. I highly recommend this to all ages. If you get sea sick this isn't for you!!

I caught a Trigger Fish and actually won the daily pot! Thank you Kyle, Max, KC, and Captain Dusty!! What an awesome experience! We will be back with friends! 5 Stars!

    What an amazing experience my family had today on the O2. I have full trust in the four gentlemen that we're working the boat. Half way through the trip there was a situation that caused the crew to decide to return to shore early. I respect their decision and applaud them for being compassionate, kind, and dedicated to their customers. My twelve year old daughter had an amazing experience. She caught 3 sharks and 1 blue runner. The crew helped her with successfully reeling these fish in and even educated her of the species. It was nice to see the crew show all the children on the boat different types of fish that were caught and provide them insight as to why some were released. I will promote this company 100% as I know that safety is their #1 priority!

    Love this boat and the crew. I regret not going with them sooner. This is my second trip and again did not disappoint. Great affordable way to get offshore and on some good locations to catch sought after fish. Crew is always ready to help when needed, food is tasty and good, and drinks are free/ beer is cheap. We caught a lot of fish that were just under legal limit and or out of season. So our haul back didn't look that much but we knew we had threw back another 20 nice desireable fish. Crew is good at cleaning them for you as well. Bring some cash to tip the mates for their hard work as this is their lively hood and their income is based mostly on it. Looking forward to another good year fishing with my family and friends on board the Obsession 2.

    My first deep sea fishing trip! The place isn't the easiest to find, but if you have your GPS or smartphone you should be okay. Ship boarded at 7am with about 30 people. You could easily spot the veterans because they were the people who brought their own coolers of bait, or rods and reels. The ride out was approximately 2 hours. On the way out we spotted a porpoise or two which was cool. The galley (sailor speak for kitchen) takes orders for breakfast on the way out there and that can consist of bacon, egg and cheese, bacon egg and sausage or just two of the above (all served with breakfast potatoes). For lunch burgers, cheeseburgers and BLTS and grilled cheese sandwiches were served with potato chips. There is a fountain drink hose that dispenses coke, sprite and water (plastic cups are provided). Bud, Budlight, Mich Ultra, and Miller Light were available for purchase for $2. I believe you are able to bring your own *canned* beer in a cooler. I was afraid of getting sea sick so I decided to pass on breakfast, but I did have lunch which was pretty good. On the way out the crew takes the time to explain to the newbies the basics of how to use the rod n reel and that they will be handling any fish we catch incase they are poisonous or sharp. They provide buckets near each fishing station (there are designated spots to fish from). Each bucket has a combination of sardines, and squid for you to use as bait. They instruct you to twist the tails off the fish and show you how to secure them to the hook. Overall it was a solid, but tiring experience. A few people were on hot streaks and caught plenty of fish (Trigger fish, Sea Bass, and even a big Cobia). I only managed to catch a small sea bass, a remora and a shark. There was a point where the sharks were being pesky and eating everyone's bait. The boat went to 3 different locations in search of fish, spending a set amount of time at each location. The only negative thing was when they were scrubbing down the boat on the way back, they didn't try and keep the bleach solution from ricocheting off the brush bristles on to people and in turn ruined my new set of shorts. That's what I get though for wearing new clothes to a fishing trip. You live and you learn. The two hour ride home seemed really lengthy after being out in the sun all day, but that's the nature of the beast when it comes to all day fishing (7am-5pm). The crew was nice, the service was friendly and they gave an overall great first experience. If I was to go deep sea fishing again, I would probably only do a half day trip. I would definitely recommend Obsession Fishing Charters , and also recommend paying extra for a spot in the back of the boat. Check to see if there is still a groupon available! Best of luck!

    I found these guys to be exceptional. Everyone was helpful, informative, and wonderful with our young children. All the equipment was in good working condition and a deck hand was always nearby when needed. Boat itself was good for the activity and comfortable. Food was really good and bottomless drinks were a hit with my kids on a hot day. We caught a good 10lbs of fish... Mostly amberjack. They cut them up nicely and bagged them to bring home for cooking. We will definitely use them again.

    They must be Three Stooges fans.

    This is a difficult business to rate. The guys on the boat are awesome and deserve a solid five stars. The food on board is excellent, and the guy who runs the galley is a wizard. He keeps a whole boatload of hungry and thirsty fishermen well provisioned, and he does it with a smile. The guys who take care of the fishing also do a fantastic job. They're right there when you need them to help out with a fouled line or any other problems you might have. They do a great job keeping everyone supplied with bait, and they do a stellar job of cleaning the deck and gunwales to keep things as hygienic as possible. So top marks to all the guys on the boat: they work hard and do a kick-ass job. I was considerably less impressed with the boat itself and some of the fishing equipment. The marine toilet wouldn't flush properly--a problem which compounded over the six hours of the cruise. And many of the fishing rods were in bad shape. The one I used had almost no grip above the reel. This would have been a problem if I had caught anything big. That brings me to my main complaint: the actual fishing was terrible! I realize that fishing is a seasonal affair and that sometimes there's just nothing biting, but we spent way too much time fishing in waters that were full of nothing but pinfish and other bait-stealers. Everyone got excited whenever they would catch something edible, but this usually turned out to be a red snapper, which had to be thrown back. A few people ended up with some smallish mangrove snappers, which are pretty good eating. But we pulled in more sharks than anything else. I know it's too much to expect a dolphinfish or king mackerel on every hook, but you would think someone among the 42 people on the boat would have caught something good. 42 people, by the way, is too many people for a vessel of this size. The pole holders are about 18 inches apart, and every one (at least on the starboard side where I was) was full. We stood basically shoulder to shoulder, meaning we spent more time untangling our lines than doing anything else. All in all, this was a frustrating day out made infinitely more tolerable by the great guys on the boat. But I don't see myself doing it again. Your nautical mileage may vary.

    Our collective catch, the ones we didn't release.

    We are in town for a softball tournament, and wanted to add a little fishing to our list of things to do while visiting the space coast. We found the night shark fishing and were really surprised by the reasonable price for such an adventure. There was heavy rain just before we were to leave, but we trusted the Captain's judgement and still went. Shortly after leaving the dock the rain cleared out and the view was incredibly beautiful as the sunset. The shark were a little slow at first but eventually found us. We had 26 fishing on our trip and just about everyone was getting action. We brought in plenty of shark to make the trip worthwhile. I even had the pleasure (and task) of hooking up a big tiger shark and getting a good 15 or so minute fight. Brought it all the way up to the boat using the rods supplied by ocean obsessions! Great staff, very helpful, and patient with several kids on board. What a great time and if you're in town, definitely worth checking out!

    The one "keeper" of the day for us.
    Taryn F.

    The crew was wonderful, but I wouldn't recommend this service during spring break. We stood so close together that we spent more time untangling our lines than actually fishing. We caught 1 "keeper" for a full day of fishing. There were 3 in our party. Spend a bit more for one of the smaller boats and more personal service. Called a month before our trip to Florida (from Michigan) to book the trip. Gave them my credit card number. The day before the scheduled trip, we called to confirm (as we didn't hear from them & had no directions) and they told us that we were lucky that they had a cancellation and were able to accommodate us as they were full. I should have gone with my gut and backed out then.

    What a great first time experience going Red Snapper fishing. Not everyone caught a fish but the captain and deck mates tried to make sure everyone had a good chance a catching a fish. Well worth the money.

We had horrible weather that cut our trip short, and the fish just started biting right when it was time to leave, but I do not hold that against them as they can't control nature. We did catch our limit of kings, couple Atlantic sharpnose sharks, and three remora. Lost two kings. We went out with Captian Zach on the Under Fire. He was a cool dude who found us some big fish and kept us out longer than all the other captains due to the rough seas and incoming weather. I'd definitely fish with him again. For anyone wondering how to fly their fish home, it's pretty easy. Publix down here sells dry ice for about $1.50/lbs. You can have a max of 5.5lbs of dry ice in your checked luggage, no "water" ice allowed. Buy a $7 styrofoam cooler from the marina, put your fish in it with the dry ice on top, fill with bubble wrap so it doesn't move, tape the cooler shut and then wrap with bubble wrap, pop a "vent hole" through the bubble wrap and cooler, then throw it in a box and tape it shut, and put a note on the box that says "Contains Dry Ice" and TSA will let you check it with any airline. I looked and looked for a business that would vacuum seal our fish and freeze it, and pack it for us to fly home and I couldn't find one. Captain Zach was happy to fillet our fish for us which was awesome and convenient. I'd have paid extra if Fired Up would buy a company vacuum sealer and let the captains seal it up in two pound portions hint hint ;-) Fish keeps so much longer in vacuum bags not that this is gonna last very long as we will eat it fast. We will definitely be back for more fishing in the future.

Because I…read morestarted on Trip Advisor and forgot this one (forgive me fellow Yelpers, Scott deserves love from both sites!). OK, I could write for hours on how great the trip was, how on top of things Scott was and how many big fish we caught but I think you get the idea - it was a great day! We reserved Captain Scott's services for an outing over Father's Day weekend. He dropped his nets and hat us bait fish in no time flat and then we were off. No sooner than he dropped a line in the water for us, we were pulling up a nice big Rainbow Runner. Over the day we caught our fair share of fish and I was eating Cobia out of my freezer for weeks. If you're wondering how much different a charter boat is from a "party boat" like the Miss Cape Canaveral and Orlando Princess, I'll put it like this. One of my catches on the Charter boat had more meat than ALL of the fishes I've caught on over 10 outings on those party boats...combined! I'm spoiled now and I'll most likely never step foot on anything but Scott's boat for charter fishing now. When we mentioned who we went with around other fishermen, they all knew Scott and told us we picked right. Everyone Knows Scott, it seems. Tips: Bring your own cooler, drinks and food. Bring some sunscreen and a hat Captain Scott's got the rest I truly have nothing bad to say about the outing and I have already booked him for the Saturday before Father's Day 2015 so back off, it's mine!

And to experience the "cloud of minnows" phenomena TWICE, was outstanding. Amberjack and sharks were in a feeding frenzy right on the seas surface! The three of us are very satisfied with our day aboard the Relentless II. We caught and kept Grouper, Amberjack, and Sea Bass--11 total. We also caught but had to release a couple of beautiful and very large Red Snapper and two 100+ pound sharks. None of us had fished in years, but Captain Scott patiently brought us up to speed. Most importantly, he knew where to fish and had the proper tackle and bait, so we had a day of "catching" rather than just "fishing".
