Great afternoon with our boys
about 2 years ago
Captain David was great. We did an afternoon with our boys and they loved it. Everyone caught something, even the kid who hates fishing ;) We'd use him again! And we got to see a bunch of different spots and catch a variety of fish!

Capt. David was great. Sara, a supervisor with Tripshock, actually booked him for us when the other charter captain backed out. This was booked as a 3-hr trip to Crab Island, instead of bay fishing. However, Capt. Dave did offer both our boys the opportunity to fish. We all had a great time. Thanks, Sara and Dave.

I was sitting in the hotel googling things to do in Sandestin when this service popped up with a live chat option. I jumped on it and quickly set up a fishing trip for the following day. Easy and exactly what we needed. The captain they set us up with for the in-shore fishing couldn't have been any better. Kids had a blast and we will definately re-book next time.

Awesome fishing

We caught 12 big speckled trout even though it was a windy day! Didn't have to do anything except hold the fishing pole and reel them in.
