The trip surpassed all of our expectations! Capt. AJ and Denny worked hard to make sure everyone was involved and having fun. When a few of our crew were feeling a little seasick from the choppy waters, they had ginger ale and saltines on hand, as well as peanut M&Ms for the kids. We caught over a dozen fish - mostly, mackerel, including a 30 lb King Mackerel that my 8 year old daughter reeled in. What a blast! Capt. Britni cleaned and delivered our fish within hours! We made some amazing fish tacos that night, and we brought several pounds home to Ohio! We'll definitely be fishing with you all again! Thanks so much!

Our son his fried and my husband had an incredible time with them Friday May 21st 2021.

The rate they charge is super affordable (in fact I think they are under charging- so tip well). We will be back and use them again and again. In fact we have already booked them again for the last day of our trip!
