Awesome!
Captain Dave was awesome. My kids had a blast
Next time, if he could adjust the temperature down a little by coordinating w Mother Nature.
And, if he could spread out the fish bites a little more evenly that would be a little better. They came in bunches
If someone reading this can’t pick up on the sarcasm, then maybe fishing isn’t for you anyways.
Go with my first comment: Dave was awesome and experience was perfect!

Bad captain experience
While on this excursion, we unfortunately had a rude and belittling captain. Our captain, Captain David, made it very clear that we were extremely inexperienced compared to him. While this is the reason that we would hire someone to take our family fishing, there is no excuse for making fun of children and adults....ever!
As an educator and a mother, I would never make anyone feel stupid or uncomfortable for something that they haven’t had much experience with. We will not be using this company again and I’m hoping our captain just had a bad day.
My son did start to feel sick so we had to cut our trip short which was great since it was so unpleasant to be around our captain. In times like now, we all need to be positive and support one another and enjoy the moment. We spent a lot of money to have a nice afternoon and unfortunately, that didn’t happen at all.

Jack's Fishing Trip
Our grandson's first 'real' fishing and he had a very good time. Captain Dave put him onto several nice fish and Jack was thrilled! We even spotted an osprey and a dolphin! Thank you for providing such an experience for our Jack!

Memories to last a lifetime
Captain David made this an experience that me and my daughters will never forget. He was so patient and informative to my girls and I’ll never forget how much fun my kids had catching fish! David even went out of his way to show my girls some dolphins that were hanging out nearby; that experience was even better than our “dolphin cruise” the day before! If you’re planning a vacation with the family, don’t hesitate to book with these folks. You won’t regret it! Thank you Captain David for giving us an experience we’ll cherish for years!

Kid’s Trip!
Captain David was excellent with the kids! He has the perfect bait and perfect spots. He answered ALL the kids’ questions at their level and advised them during the catch so they could do it all on their own! Kids (ages 8,10,11) all had the “best fishing trip ever”! They wanted to go again the next day, so very much worth the experience.

Outstanding day!
Wonderful day with our 2 boys, ages 8 and 4! Captain David was really patient with our kids and made it really enjoyable to fish with them! The adults had a great time too! The highlight of the day was playing keep away with the dolphins trying to eat the fish we were reeling in while trolling the bay. Will definitely book again!

Highlight of our vacation!
Captain David provided our family an awesome fishing trip! Our boys ages 5 and 9 loved getting to fish on our recent trip to Destin,FL. Captain David was great with the kids! We will do this again on our next visit!

Just okay
Captain was a little rough for a kids charter. Some foul language and not super nice in general. Did not have kid friendly poles or tackle. If you are accustomed to charters, go elsewhere. If you have never chartered, this may be okay.

Kids fishing trip
Excellent. Only issue was TripShock and the directions to the boat. Maybe include “to the right of the restaurant/bar”. Other than that the trip was excellent. Captain was super nice. Kids had a blast!

Great kids fishing tour
I took my 12-year-old niece and 11-year-old son on the guided fishing tour. Captain David provided an excellent service! He is very knowledgeable about the area, and the kids caught fish in every location he took us to.

Horrible
No bites at all. Not using all poles to maximize chances to catch anything. Very disappointed kids.
