My daughter and I wanted to go fishing and I found Mark. I called and set up a trip during the week…read morewe were visiting Florida. I read the reviews and Marks responses. I've been to Florida on two other occasions and until we went with Mark I had not caught a keeper fish. I've fished all my like and there is a reason they call it fishing and not just catching. I mostly bass fish and it's very common to move from spot to spot to find fish. This was Mark's tactic. We went out several mines and I'll say we caught a very nice day and it wasn't rough. My daughter was the first to catch a keeper and from there she went on to have a stellar day. Mark provided an awesome day. Great service and a lot of conversation. Mark had different spots and he worked hard to get us on fish. It should be noted that he has a gps driven Minolta trolling Moyer that will keep his boat on a spot without an anchor. Saves a lot of time in moving between spots because he didn't use an anchor. The electronics were second to none and I felt very safe. If you want a personal or small family fishing experience I recommend Captain Mark. So ask the best question. Would you go fishing with Mark a second trip. Answer. We are planning on it. Thanks Mark for an awesome day of fishing and catching. Tom

On a recent trip to the Port St. Lucie area, my father chartered a boat as a late Christmas gift to…read morego fishing off the coast. All things considered, I enjoyed my time out on the water with my family, but thought that the overall service lacked a personal touch that would have elevated the experience. The Captain / Service: This is where I was the most disappointed. If you are taking money to have us on your boat, you need to be a 'Tour Guide of the Seas'. Although I am sure that some people look to get out on the water for peace and solitude, I am also looking for an experience in both a knowledge, and educational-sense. I am not from the area, so I want to know everything there is to know about the area and the adventure we're about to embark on. When he was asked a question, he answered in his monotone, unenthusiastic tone which seemed to say, "Leave me alone", more than, "Sure, let me be helpful and enhance this experience for you." Honestly, reflecting back a little more closely now, he was almost entirely useless. I could have Googled how to do the few things he showed us. We would have been equally fine ...if not better...without him. Another issue...when we were travelling from one spot to another - a good 15 minute ride - the wind and weather was whipping in a way that constantly sprayed me and was getting me very wet. Not a little damp, which I can handle...as I'm on a boat...legitimately wet. It was unseasonably cool in Port St.Lucie that weekend. So being wet in 59 degree weather with no sun shine is not a comfortable feeling. Do you think he offered me to stand under the canopy with him? Nope. Instead I relocated up front to try and get out of the spray, but he through a tantrum because 'too many of us were in the front' and it could damage the boat. I am not arguing that point, what I am upset about is your lack of customer service. Lastly, we are out on the water for 5-6 hours and you don't have complimentary bottles of water -- after all that we've paid? Ummm... Captain/Service: 2 / 5 Boat/Gear: The boat had seen better days. It was by no means ragged, but it had cracks in the interior, ripped fabric and trimmings, and an overall look that made it obvious that the boat's best days were quickly becoming a distant memory. In terms of the gear, all seemed OK; but on two separate occasions we had a massive hit on one of our 'trolling' poles -- the one where we attached live bait and attached a 'buoy' of sorts. On both occasions, the line snapped. Once? Ok. Twice? That gets me thinking. Furthermore, the second time it happened, I told the dude that I think the fish 'took everything'. He dismissed me like I had no idea what I was talking about. Then, an hour later, we reeled it in to find the line snapped... Boat/Gear: 2 / 5 Fish: Unfortunately, we did not catch too many fish. On a relatively cool day, this made the trip a little bit more disappointing. We caught some small channel catfish, a couple of 'Porgis', and a couple very small sea bass. The three of us combined for about 18-20 useless fish that were pointless to take home, even though we took 2. This is not necessarily the fault of the Captain, as fishing can be a spotty-sport in terms of success. Though, I feel as if between the missed 'big catches', and the excessive lack of success, that there is a correlation that can't be ignored. Fish: 2 / 5 Final Thoughts: I loved being out on the water with my dad and brother. Wish it was just us though, because the Captain was entirely useless. I would not recommend this company. Yes, some of my complaints may seem 'nit-picky'. But they all add up. All I could think the whole time was how 'I could do a much better job', with regard to service and overall experience. Just seemed to be an extreme lack of personal touch. Maybe my expectations were just to high...

We booked our 3pm time the day of, for six people, which I love when places can accommodate…read morefamilies that don't plan ahead (yes that's us). The booking process was easy and they also answered the phone right away when I had a question. The address and directions they sent us in the email mapped us right there and it was easy to find. Yes, you do have to pay the six dollars to get into the park but that was communicated in the email. There is a bathroom onsite. You can bring a bag but it might get wet. What was really nice was our guide provided dry bags for everyone if we wanted to use them. It fit two water bottles,glasses case and phones in them so they are decent sized bags. You don't need to bring shoes. You probably don't need to bring a water bottle either unless it's a really hot day. It was 70 and really windy so it was a little chilly and a long sleeve was needed. Todd was our guide and he was so welcoming! They had informed us thirty minutes beforehand that it was going to be really windy. We did have a 9yr old and a first time kayaker to take into consideration. We decided to proceed and I'm glad we did! The wind made it a tad difficult for the newbie but it was a "breeze" for us and the younger people. The wind also stirred up the sand so unfortunately it wasn't very clear water. Todd was very informative and had knowledge on the plant life and animals of the area (don't worry, there's no snakes or alligators) The small lagoon was really cool and peaceful. Plenty of bird life and some fish once the waters calmed down. The two hours went quick and I wished we could've kept going, but I could also see how it was the perfect amount of time for other people. An overall great experience for every one of all ages.

We ordered parts online for our car's specific make/model via the Yakima brand website, but after receiving the parts from our online order it was clear we needed some direction and assistance from a seasoned professional! Enter Native Water Sports! We've seen the store several times but never went it. We decided to go and we are so glad we did. Ted, the owner and operator, graciously helped us get the proper parts and told us he'd call us back to the store once received. About a week later, the parts were here, and Ted and my husband arranged a time at the shop. He not only helped install the rack to ensure that it was safely mounted, but he also showed my husband how he did it and was very hands-on! It took them about one and a half hours - and we were good to go. He showed us how to use the straps, how to take the pads off/on, etc. You can absolutely tell Ted is a well seasoned professional kayak guy - not only that, but he's friendly and just a genuinely nice person. For any kayak needs - car racks, life jackets, kayaks, and pretty much any kayak accessory known to man - Ted is your guy for honest help!

She stated that…read morethey no longer honor those cards and haven't for at least 5 years yet we pre-paid for 25 refills and had 8 fills remaining PLUS we had tanks filled last year. This is FRAUD! She bought the business from her ex-husband on 4/9/25. Since then, the store has gone downhill. She hired kids (which is good) but they are under 18 and cannot fill tanks legally so we left our tanks. When we inquired about hours, we were told they would be opened until 4:00pm but when we drove 45 minutes we found the store closed with no signs on the door. We tried calling but they don't have voice mail set up. She said she gets "thousands of calls" and didn't want to set it up. Employees park in the parking spot reserved for loading/unloading tanks so we had to walk our tanks across the parking lot. We will not be using their shop any longer and I would others to stay away. There are better dive shops in the area.

Just north of the Fort Pierce Inlet along A1A is Avalon State Park. While the park spans the island…read morebetween the Indian River Lagoon and the Atlantic Ocean most people come for the beach. The park is open 8 a.m. until sundown, 365 days a year and the cost is $2 per vehicle payable in a box on the honor system. The more than one mile beach in this park provides a safe habitat for wildlife like the threatened and endangered loggerhead, Atlantic green, and leatherback sea turtles who nest on the beach during the spring and summer. While this beach is popular with nesting sea turtles, people love it too. Swimmers, surfers, snorkelers, anglers, and sunbathers flock here for unspoiled beach recreation. Park amenities include a restroom, picnic pavilion, and shower station. This is the perfect spot for a quieter beach day free from crowds. This part of Fort Pierce was once a naval training base during WWII where sailors practiced with high-explosive rockets, bombs, and underwater demolitions. It is important to note that underwater obstacles left behind by amphibious warfare exercises are still being recovered to this day.

The sand and water here is absolutely amazing, so on this beautiful Saturday with temperatures in the mid 80's there's no other conclusion I can come up with. There were only six other people on the beach when I pulled into the parking lot, seems a little odd so maybe it's the mere fact it's a State Park although I didn't see any Park Rangers to collect the fee, only a small money box attached to a post. The dunes are filled with native grasses, and the two paths leading to the beach are short so packing a few chairs and a cooler is a breeze. I can't make the claim that this is the absolute best beach in the area but seriously are there really any bad beaches - clean water, silky sand, and no crowds can't say I need much more than that...
