Worst fishing trip ever on Daddy's Baby. The Captain acted…read moreas though we ruined his Saturday and hated being there. He didn't hardly even speak to us except to repeat 3x, "do not thrown toilet paper in the toilet, put it in the basket only". Which was ironic since there was no toilet paper anywhere on that boat. The main reason we were willing to pay more for a boat with a toilet, yet we couldn't use it. Unbelievable...how cheap do you have to be to make the customers provide their own toilet paper??? Also, when comparing boat to price in the area, this boat seems way over priced for the age and condition it's in. It looks nothing like it does on the website...maybe when it was new, but certainly not now. As for the captain, we don't even know his name because he never introduced himself but he did manage to be very snippy towards the deck hand. The fishing equipment kept breaking which took time away from fishing. The one time the Capt. came down from his perch, we got to over hear him telling the deck hand that the last deck hand, "broke all the equipment and took things out of spite. As soon as we got back to the dock Dale fired him". So why didn't he have it all fixed and replaced before we got on the boat??? Not to mention the equipment was all very old and wore out. We spent 3-4 hrs riding out and around looking for fish and 2 actually fishing. Nothing we caught was as over 10" long. The Captain didn't seem to know what he was doing at all. We didn't even catch 1 fish in the last hour. He didn't have a clue (or just didn't care) how to put us on any fish anywhere. We had asked the Captain as we were departing the marina, "what kind of fish can we expect to be catching?" And his response was "not much sense everything is out of season". We hoped he was joking, but he was not. No one told us this when we booked it? We had specifically asked about and said we wanted a private charter that we might expect to catch some big fish on, even if we had to throw them back. We just wanted to have lots of fun because it was a birthday present for someone in our group. The gentleman booking it said "oh you will catch some good ones, our captain's know how to put you on the fish and you will have a great time". We knew some fish were out of season so we'd be throwing a lot back but even the red snapper we caught and threw back were under 10" long. WTH??? We've been on several charter trips and this is by far the worst ever. The "fish weren't biting" excuse can't be applied here either because 3 other boats were at Zekes Marina cleaning fish when we got back and their haul was huge! We asked what kind of charters they were, thinking it was an 8 or 10 hr charter, but no, they were 4 and 6 hr charters like ours. Yet they caught bigger and more, not to mention their customers were laughing and going on and on about how much fun they had. We had NONE! If it weren't for our deck hand (who gets 5 stars) we would've been miserable! He was the saving grace to this crappy trip. We tipped him good because he tried very hard to take up the slack of this lackadaisical captain. We're sure business is so good for this company that they don't have to worry about customer service so our review won't bother them a bit. Nor will our bad experience cause them to loose sleep spending our hard earned $1400 we had to pay for this joke of a fishing trip. But know this, not that it means that much, Class Act Charters will never be recommended by us and will always be a very bad memory for us. Very disappointed, is an understatement!

Captain Randy was a fantastic skipper who made the cruise very enjoyable and comfortable for all. Unlike some other sailing companies, we ACTUALLY sailed in the Gulf (engine off) and enjoyed the breeze and the views. As a sailor on Lake Michigan, Captain Randy let me take the helm of the 35-foot Beneteau for much of the sail. (THANKS, Captain!) He has tons of local knowledge and provided great information to our group. The boat was super clean - the topsides dazzling white and the woodwork varnish below deck looked wet it was so fresh looking. My only regret is that we did not book a longer cruise. Tom H.

It was a little crowded if you were fishing on the sides of the boat. The captain did his best to put us on fish, and moved a number of times. All in all, it was fun and we each caught some fish. The mates were really good - they took your fish off, cut up bait, helped with tangled rods, cleaned your fish. If you can afford to charter a captain and boat, that would definitely be more fun. And I cannot imagine taking the 3pm fishing trip if it's July or August - it would be hotter than hell. But for the cost, this was fun. Definitely a well-managed operation.

We went out for an eight hour bottom fishing, and trolling trip. we had a variety of people on the trip from season fisherman to beginners and from teenagers to In their 70s with some health and mobility issues. From the time we boarded they took amazing care of us. They set up a chair at the back of the boat so our party member with mobility issues could fish comfortably. The deck hand Hunter was one of the best deck hands I've ever had. He kept us baited up, worked with the beginners and got the fish off the line and the hooks back out in the water after every catch. Captain Kendall put us spots that had us catching fish as soon as our lines got to depth and we caught our limit early and with ease. Like I said I've done a lot of charters and been out with a lot of Captains and deck hands and this crew is top notch for both beginners and seasoned fisherman. The boat is large and come with AC in the cabin. They will be my new go to charter. I would highly recommend them if you are looking for a great gulf charter experience!
