Great time fishing with Wet Lines!! We recently had the…read morepleasure of booking a fishing trip with Wet Lines Fishing Charter with Captain Zachary George, and couldn't be more impressed!! I was excited to take my visiting nephews out for a memorable Florida fishing experience, and that is exactly what we got! Within the first fifteen minutes, we were already catching fish. Captain Zachary was incredibly knowledgable, helpful, and didn't hesitate to accommodate any special requests we had. The boat was clean, with plenty of room for everyone.There was a cooler with ice, cold water and space for our items. One of the best parts of the experience was once the trip was over, he offered to clean and fillet the fish we caught. We knew there were a couple of local spots that would cook the fish but had no idea where to start, so he recommend a great restaurant and even how to order it! It was fantastic. Wet Lines Fishing Charter with Captain Zachary George is a fantastic choice. Highly recommended.

Those two reviews had me peeking in to see if there was a Doberman or Rottweiler in there) I live down the beach a bit and needed to renew my fishing license. These folks can do it for you in the shop. If you like fishing, like I do - this is akin to a Hall of Fame. They have an enormous selection and specialize in Penn reels and every aspect of gear from kiddy poles & rigs to deep sea goliath rods and reels (Scuba gear too and - beach apparel) I spent a good 40 mins chatting with Donna, who so nicely schooled me on local best practices (gear, bait, rigs, etc) She takes pride in her knowledge and it shows. For the Hall of Fame part, if you walk past the checkout counter there's a glass wall display of antique gear in their original boxes and a second one dedicated to diving - so very cool to see. Bottom line, anytime you've been in business for over 50 years - you're doing something right. Customer for life.

The dog continued to bark and growl at me, walked away and the dog followed. Wife found a $70 shirt for me, but I just wanted to leave. Wife and lady we brought to look for shirts for her sons stayed. They came out later with shirts. If you've ever been bitten by a dog, or are afraid or dogs, take heed.

I've been in there a few times and my only complaint is that I get asked multiple times if I need help finding anything. I imagine that it helps them cut down on theft, but it has gotten a bit redundant. The way I see it, is if the only complaint I have, is that they are over eager to help out, they must deserve five stars! Great store. Great selection. Great customer service!

Came in here with my daughter to buy her first longboard, wanting to support a local business. When…read morewe asked to test ride a couple, the staff wouldn't allow it, only offering their 'test board'. If you know anything about skating, one board can be completely different than another, so this is useless. Considering all the nuance (shape, length, flex, weight) that go into a longboard, it is insanity to think that a customer would drop $160+ (their lowest price) on something that they can't test on the sidewalk. In 30+ years of skating and surfing, I have never been to a shop that wouldn't let you test out such a big purchase. Leave this shop to the tourists and posers and spend your money somewhere that actually cares about the culture.

We just got home from our IRB trip and shopped at Nekton several times during our stay. Spent…read morehundreds of dollars here as it's such a cute shop with great brands, but it needs major help in the customer service department. The girls working the shop are more interested in gossiping/talking amongst themselves and staring at their phones than being welcoming, helpful, or kind... esp the ones working on 8/11. We likely would have spent much more, but we got the feeling they would have rather us just left than buying anything at all. We witnessed them treating many others this way -- including a surfer who came in looking for an accessory to his board, who was sent away with nothing but a weird attitude. Idk, maybe find new employees.

Although I have been a member for almost 3 years, this was my first time going out of this location and the crew was awesome as it is usually at all of their locations. I wish to humbly thank Owen and Scott who helped us out when the motor wouldn't start only to find out that I was in too shallow of water. I learned something new and I am grateful for their IMMEDIATE assistance which was only a phone call away. The Pontoon boat was clean and well maintained and I have never been disappointed with the Freedom Boat Club. Once again, I take my hat off to Owen and Scott, at the Madeira Beach location, for their outstanding service to myself and family and feel that they are an asset to the organization as a whole even in these difficult times. Thank you Freedom Boat Club for the most awesome experience for our memories. We love you guys and hope that you stay number 1 in this space. Respectfully, Lenny Woods USMC/Retired
